I have to fight depression in my life maily by .........my meds of course.......but also through joking around,play on words and too much interdialouge. I wish I could stop and be more "Realistic" but if I do I get really depresseed and filled with hoplessness. It is like trying to run all the time. I am tired. What can I do when the wind don't blow where it outa blow and confusion sits in and I got to try to make sense of it all?

It's essential we find our own good ways of coping with the troughs of life. All their associated 'bad' emotions trigger chemical reactions in the body which can cause inflammation and weaken the immune system. This is the basis for the majority of illnesses!
Whenever a bad thought comes along, practise blocking it by replacing it with any good thought ASAP. It could even be something as small as the face of a cute baby or animal or loved one. The more you do it the better you'll get. (Don't encourage bad thoughts from people either - your mind's just too precious! The same applies to bad thoughts of the past/future.). This will very gradually start affecting your emotions in a positive way. But you've got to be determined 100% or there's no point.
Then start practising doing the same thing on your self-talk. As soon as you see yourself complaining, blaming or whatever that you really know you shouldn't, just replace it with something positive that you say to yourself eg. I've got everything I need inside me to make my life extraordinary. This will slowly impact your spoken words and behaviour and then life itself. Of course there will still be troughs, but you will be one of the minority in this world with a life skill to cope.
Start today. Even a 1% improvement a day, no matter what else is or isn't happening in your life, compounded means 3800% a year! Now that is something to look forward to in a year' s time.
Wish you good luck my friend.

You cannot change your past but you can learn by it and from. To day is what comes along now and you learn coping mechanisms, to help you through what it throws at you. However you can learn how to change what happens in your future. Thank you Peter
