Hi SWA,

It may be a temporary solution, but I read somewhere that if you smile, your mood will follow even if the smile is forced - so try smiling! It sounds silly but it really works. I've tried it a few times. You can also think about all the things you have to be thankful for even if it's a small thing like a sunset, or a meal, or clothes to wear.

As the others have said - please continue to post so we know how you are doing.

slow
