Step 1: Read books on positive thinking...EVERY DAY.
Step 2: Practice gratitude
Step 3: Realize that nothing really matters. No matter what you do, or don't do, its not going to matter. There is no great accomplishment or no great failure that anyone will know about in a million years so don't stress yourself out over it.
Step 4: About nothing mattering. Of course your IMMEDIATE well being matters and the well being and interaction of those you love. So do what you feel you must do to satisfy that need...but do it without tension, stress or frustration. Remember, you are only ALIVE right now. You might be dead in 10 minutes and the life you have lived until now is gone, as is the person who lived those moments.
Step 5: Realize your feelings of depression are only in this moment. You have the ability to change THIS moment for yourself...and yourself only. You have went through many moments just reading this and could have altered your state by now.
Step 6: Realize anything that has happened in the past is past...let it go.
Step 7: When feeling down, take a walk and focus on gratitude. Be thankful for what makes you happy in this life because soon it, and you, will be gone.
