I don't know if it's that you should have "good positive thinking" so much as... "excepting the present moment" whatever that might be at that moment.
If your sad, then your sad- except that your sad. Look at it from within and acknowledge it. The quicker you do, the faster it will dissipate. If you're thinking too far into the future...STOP. If you're fretting on the past....STOP. All that will do is create suffering in the present moment, which is all we ever have.
If you're in the throws of an episode perhaps you will not be able to be "present" however you can give it a try...Stop thinking, even for a few seconds...focus on your breathing and nothing else and you will at that point be in the present moment.
