Here is my theory:
Fill your mind with false beliefs and show wild and apparently unhinged excitement and energy (mania).
Fill your mind with a mix of false beliefs and realities and you'll be bipolar (manic-depressive).
Fill your mind with realities and you'll be depressed.
Your thoughts?
I agree. The last part I tried to explain to several "experts" but they didn't believe me that I was just realistic about my situation in life which can be (looking was going on in the world) being very depressing.
Yes I can relate to that,.
Hi I get this. It does show though that no extreme is liveable with. A mixture of all of these approaches with the emphasis on reality and grounded in reality is best.
You can't lead your life totally in any one of them x
I think there is plenty going on in the world that is depressing, and plenty that is encouraging and heartwarming. What you focus on may be a symptom of your state of mind, or what causes your state of mind. Try ignoring the news for a week, and finding good stories to read about on-line. See if it makes any difference to your depression.
Interesting discussion. I agree with all of the above.
Fill your mind with positive possibilities and you'll feel hopeful. 
Sorry to hijack but has anyone seen my latest post? I know it's long. But it's long for a reason. If you read one half, and then take a break and read the second half - it's not that bad.xx
Whatever it is I will agree. You see I cannot make my mind up what I am
