Go easy on yourself
When you get depressed watch a dog chase it's tail or better yet take it for a walk. If you are going to do a lot of reading read some funny books... find a way to laugh at the world.
Everyone has their down days. I've never tried the hiccup cure on depression but I bet it works. My youngest brother once had a real bad case of the hiccups. We tried everything to help him cure it... Drink a glass of water upside down, (he got wet but still had the hiccup), sugar didn't help. He held his breath until he went a deep shade of red... lost it when he hiccup... Served the customers their wine, hiccuping away. My other brother felt sorry for him and decided surprise therapy might be the only way to cure him. 2 hours of him hiccuping was even too much for us to bear. Mum agreed but suggested using a small bag to as not to make too much noise with customers in the restaurant. So the other brother inflated a hot-dog bag and clapped it behind his back. We all jumped it was louder that the big bags! (mother knows best right?)... it took a few seconds for my kid brother to come back down from the ceiling. We thought dad was gonna kill us for making such a racket with customers in the restaurant... but we really cracked up laughing when we realised that the 'cure' worked. My kid brother had to explain to the customers what happened. 
Anyhow... look to where you want to go not where you've been.
Good luck
