When you're depressed, you act, feel and think dominantly habitually without realizing that you're doing it. You say what you always say, feel what you always feel and think what you always think. Because you slip into that mode unconsciously, it's hard to talk or reason your way out of it. On the other hand, you can train your way out of it pretty directly and effectively.
