I don't think that last example is the same usage.
What the others have in common are
1. Continuing, every time type occurrence (e.g. When I think X ...)
2. The result is feeling / emotion related.

The third example is a) Past tense, once off.
b) The second half of the sentence /isn't/ the result of the first.
c) Isn't かおもうと but かおもったら (contributor: Amatuka)

Kono joutai ha kono mama da to tsudzuku ka to omou to ochikonde shimau.
When i think this situation might continue on like this i get really
depressed.
What do you guys think about how this sounds?

When 'dato' is used, J would be
