2. and there are other times when I'm determined to not let my depression get the better of me, and also to help other people with their depression. I feel like this is the first step to fighting depression.
The ratio of 1 to 2 is like 80% to 20%, i'd like to change this, I'd like to be (2) most of the time, and I'm trying to force some change by being positive. Sometimes I can switch from 1 to 2 and back in a few minutes, and it's very frustrating.
can anybody relate to this? Thanks.

The fact that you can switch sounds very promising to me. You just have to figure out ways to control it.
