Only my opinion, but I feel that when you are depressed, your issues just hit you like a ton of bricks upon arising. Its like your mood, right there, is in your face. When this happens to me, I tell myself something positive, immediately. If that does not work, I tell myself another positive thing, immediately. Then I get going. I start my day. I shower, first thing, because that helps to shake out the cob webs, so to speak. I don't know if you can really change this, but what I do, helps. Good luck, Lori Renee
