For those bees TTC now or were before and battling depression, how did you keep positive? I'm finding it really difficult these days to see the good in things...

It's really hard and I've been in bouts of depression since I'm dealing with IF. When I start feeling really emotional, irrational, and just super depressed, it takes me a couple weeks to look back and realize that I'm depressed. That's when I 'will' myself into thinking more positively. It's hard and I know there are days or weeks where I just can't get out of the funk but I just try things that make me feel better (shopping, cooking, pampering myself, talking to friends)... Really just anything to distract myself. I even did the unspeakable and stepped away from HB for about two weeks, to get my mind off of baby talk. Well, that and I was on vacation last week and kept myself from checking HB.
ETA: Oh, I also forgot to say that I'm currently on a TTC break so that really helped. -
Thanks for your insight, @bluestriped bee. I feel like I'm spiralling a little bit so I'm trying to gain control of myself again. I may take a break from HB, along with other social media sites just to disconnect for a bit. Besides having to work on a computer so many hours a day, doing a "technology fast" might be a good thing and unplug whenever I'm not at the office.
