Being depressed makes one hyper sensitive to just about everything, I think. I can totally understand as I used to be exactly this way not to long ago.
What snapped me out of my depressive state was literally that. I snapped!!
Okay, now you're probably thinking, this girl is nuts. LOL I don't blame you. That did sound pretty weird, what I just said. However, when I explain the method behind the madness, you'll understand.
A fellow member on here, Vital, introduced me to a wonderful technique for pulling oneself from the utter depths of depression. It's called SNAP CLUB. Here's the link to the thread Vital made, explaining it all.

Basically, when you're depressed, you're on autopilot and don't, or can't, make conscious decisions on a daily basis. You just do things, barely existing. By snapping your fingers when you make a conscious decision to do something, you bring your mind from the bleak and dreary auto pilot depression, into the present and into the light.
So, now you're either skeptical, which I can understand, or not even reading this thread at this point because you've decided my mind has gone to the dogs. That's okay. I love dogs. I would love to spend time with some.
Anyways, just try it and see for yourself. It's super easy and besides, you've got nothing to lose, right? Might as well try it. So go ahead and try it, even if you only commit to just one day, or afternoon. If you don't feel the difference in your attitude by then, I won't bother you anymore about SNAP CLUB. I promise.
