I'm not sure what the pros say about this, but I am trying to figure out what sets me off, what triggers my depression. I don't know if you can look back on specific incidents, or things that happen all the time, and how you react to them, and maybe figure out if you can react differently, change your thinking, perhaps.
Right now I am engaging in catastrophic thinking. I am afraid no one will like me for one reason or another, and I am trying to figure out a different way to look at the situation. Maybe it help if you tried something like that. I hope you find relief from whatever's bothering you.
