What can I do when I slide into a depressed state?
You can be talked out of it
If two things in a day don't go the way you want, you may be somewhat depressed by evening. If you have slid into a depressed state, you can be talked out of it, by yourself, a friend or a loved one. Even professional help in the initial stages is only trying to talk you out of it.
In the evening you may sit and talk yourself out of it, or sit with a friend and they talk you out of it.
