I don't really think there is much of a point to life.

I do, however, enjoy giving my own life a point. I feel like I'm in control if I get to pick the point of life!

And yeah... the battle with the stupid thoughts is tough. I decided I am going to win that battle though, so when I get really depressed I'm like "EFF YOU BRAIN! I am going to win this round!" and then I bunker down and wait it out.

Honestly that sounds a bit nutty but the visual for me always works well. It doesn't stop the bad thoughts... but it does stop me from acting on them. Which means I win!
