What is depressive thinking?

Avoid Depressive Thinking

See difficulties as temporary setbacks and not the result of something wrong with you. Do not automatically assume the worst or that something is wrong with you. If you lose your job, channel your thinking into getting another job that is as good or better than the one you had. If a friend does not call you back when you expect, consider the fact that they may be extremely busy and have not had a chance to check their answering machine or return calls. Giving others the benefit of the doubt if far better than beating yourself up with feelings of rejection.
