Do you know why? I mean did you not like your therapist...apparently the relationships is sort of key...did they have poor insight or maybe not understand what you were experiencing. Did they have issues dealing with the psychosis and focus on that or something else other than depression? So my T was basically doing treatment for psychosis, anxiety and sort of more like a transient sadness than actual depression so the techniques I know are probably too weak for actual depression. One of them though is to find a place to be alone and then just laugh for ten minutes. You don't need to even be finding something genuinely funny just the act of laughing and smiling changes your physiology and can cheer you up.

The other techniques I know is basically focusing on doing multiple things that make you happy at once. So it may be that right now nothing will make you happy if that's the case think of things that used to make you happy and do that but pick three things you can do together. So for me I liked going to the zoo to take pics with my camera----I added to that listening to my favorite tunes on the mp3 player and eating cotton candy or some other equivalent. So even if this means picking up a pint of phish food to eat while listening to the radio and leafing through your favorite magazine or website than you pick three things and you end up feeling better.

Admittedly I didn't have to deal with a lot of sadness I tend to re-frame things as sort of challenge that I will beat so I only learned those two techniques that's why I was hoping you would have better luck in your own therapy.
