Hanky: A very good point! Indeed, remembering that things won't always be the way they are now was a vital part of my recent therapy. It's simple things like this that the depressive mind can keep out when it gets a hold. This is why I now have a "treasure box". At the suggestion of my therapist, it contains a letter written to myself, from when I am at my best. It reminds me of all the sensible advice, like the above. I give myself all the good advice I can, so that I don't have to struggle to think of it when I'm at my worst. I remind myself of all the people who care about me, and who I matter to.
It contains other things that I know are good at helping me get through a bad patch, which I also may simply forget about. It has lovely photos of happy moments from my life in an album.
I thoroughly recommend it to anyone!
