You mentioned that you love life and find it beautiful. Do you think it would help to journal about why you love it and what you find beautiful? You could save those entries to read over when you're feeling down.
I've tried journal writing before, but not when I'm happy. That sounds like a much better idea than trying to express my self when I'm depressed. I can never find the right words when I'm depressed.

Thanks
