I think you're hitting on the importance of our framing of reality. I recommend positive thinking that focuses on <i>defining</i> reality rather than reacting to it. Let's imagine our goals coming to fruition and living in a world of our greatest hopes! What does that world look like? What do we do everyday in that world? The clearer we can make that picture become, the more capable we are to emphasize the parts of ourselves that contribute to making that vision into reality. Once again, thank you, and I'm glad that you are writing. :) Matt Liesl,

Having for the most part recovered from depression, I can say that in my case the lack of self esteem and self confidence left me open for depression. As a teen I didn't feel at all confident in myself in any capacity and by the time I was 18, I had become very depressed. My eventual cure was to find ways of expressing the anger I felt at myself and what life was "doing to me". Therapists explained the process of frustation, anger and finally depression. By attacking the initial triggers, I was ready to build my self esteem. It took several years, but the depression finally lifted and my confidence and self-esteem soared. Finding solutions like this seems to be the answer for many others suffering from persistent and recurring depression.
