If you are cognitively aware of these types of thoughts, you're over the first hurdle. You know you aren't feeling well, you know you have the potential to feel much, much worse. I hope that if you ever get to that point, you get help. At least you know that this is a possibility, and I think that might help you out.
I'm working on it. I just know that for me, it's a long term thing. Dysthymic disorder is a long term low grade depression, but some things push you over into a major episode.
