Once I responded this to a girl that was complaining about her depression while hsd everything organized very well but her mind;

“In order to change the way you feel, you need to change the way you think and you need to roll up your sleeves and get to work on your mental health, it seems that you are doing all those worldly things that has to keep you going in a normal life, but you are forgetting about your real self, It appears that you are seeing the negative part of your life more than the positive things in it.

Remember one important thing, and that is, every time that you think in a negative way such as:"I just can't feel happy even I smile often" You are feeding the Depression-Monster. Look at it as a monster that is fed with negative thoughts that lead to negative feelings. Try to change every negative with a positive every time (or try to), after a while you will feel that the Depression monster starves as the negatives are reducing and finally it will die.

You need to keep this monster weak and starve it by changing all negative thoughts to positive ones. let this be your task and concentrate on it as your guardian angel, watch the way you think and learn about the way you think, while doing that change all negative thoughts with positive ones such as:"I just can't feel happy even I smile often" change this with the positive " my smile generates smile in others" or something like that, something that changes the negative nature of your thought and therefore you will feel uplifted. Do enough of this exercise and you will feel better and stronger each time. It takes a little exercise and after a while you will get use to it, in the meanwhile consult a psychologist in your area as they will keep you on your toes to look after your mental health and not just your worldly responsibilities.”
