Hey, Greenport. Matt's got good advice for you up there--trying to stay positive does help. And there's a lot you can do by focusing on the present and controlling your own thinking patterns. I've only learned that trick recently myself.

One of the things I meant to write in my earlier post was what I do to counter depression, and that's exercise. It's the best natural anti-depressant there is--and no side-effects, either, unlike with pills. It really does do wonders for your mood!
