I think lots of people want to be on their own when mood is low Mark. I know I do.

When your mood is low it's hard to believe there will be a time when you won't feel low. Only when you feel different and see things differently can you believe it. Of course you are going to feel better. Don't listen to the negative thoughts just because they are there. Their presence means nothing. Let them babble on like interference.

Try and work out what the big problems in your life are that are preventing your mood from being better. Write about each one in a diary or something and try and conclude with a solution and some small positive steps you can take tomorrow to reach the solutions. Hope and optimism are antidepressants.
