Sometimes I come down with what I call a BLACK MOOD, I'm not sociable I'm not friendly I'm just dont talk to me because I dont want to know, it takes days to recover, I just hate myself and the world and I make both suffer, but I dont like being like this.

Exercise. When you get in on of these moods go take a jog. Your mind will clear as you focus on your running, your breathing. When you get home drink a glass of water and you will probably feel better. Not only will it help you socially, but running is physically good for you too.

I have those now and then... I think everyone does at some point.
When I am in a bad mood or feeling down there is one thing that always manages to cheer me back up... I listen to a Burl Ives Christmas CD.
Yes I know it sounds silly, but when I hear that music I feel the excitement of the holidays, smell the Christmas cookies baking, hear the jingle of the bells my mother used to place on the front door announcing visitors, and the warmth and love of family and friends. His voice and the music transport me to a place and time when I felt young and hopeful and cherished and loved. It brings back to me the spirit of that season and puts me in the mood to love everyone and everything around me...
Find your "Holly Jolly Christmas"... find the thing, whatever it may be, sound, smell, the touch of a warm fluffy towel... whatever it is that reminds you of the good parts of life... those things that make living worthwhile.

When I'm bummed out I listen to music or watch a funny movie. What works for me is trying not to think about what made me upset. Years ago when I was struggling with depression, I'd keep a journal and write how I felt. Sometimes I would pretend to write a note to someone who had hurt me. Now that I am doing a lot better, going back and looking at those journals lets me know how far I've come and that in itself makes me happy because I have matured and I can handle my emotions better.

In his book You Can Be Happy No Matter What, Richard Carlson (who also wrote Don't Sweat the Small Stuff) says WHAT we think affects how we FEEL which causes our MOODS. Then the MOOD affects what we FEEL which affects our thoughts. So negative thoughts in the moment become negative feelings in the moment which becomes a negative mood, then the negative mood produces negative thoughts in the moment which produces more negative thoughts in the moment. It becomes a vicious circle.
The reverse is also true: Positive thoughts in the moment produce positive feelings in the moment which produce a positive mood.
The trick is NOT to try to think positively about yourself or the world, the trick is just to think positive and FEEL GOOD.
When you start to think or feel negative, STOP THINKING ABOUT WHATEVER YOU ARE THINKING and DELIBERATELY start thinking about things that make you happy. You have to make a deliberate effort. I just say things to myself like "I like the song Forever Young by Rod Stewart, I like chocolate chip cookies, I like the movie French Kiss" By changing my focus I immediately change my feelings and then my thoughts automatically go back to positive. You might want to make a "Happy" list and carry it with you for those times when negative thoughts/feelings get the best of you.
Or, if you're able, DO something that makes you feel good (like listening to your favorite CD).
In her book The Secret, Rhonda Byrne recommends starting your day (before you even get out of bed) by saying to yourself THANK YOU for all the things in your life you are grateful for. This is a great way to start your day in a positive mood. Like, "thank you for my warm bed, thank you for the roof over my head, thank you for ...whatever you are grateful for).
People tend to forget that they are the ones doing the thinking.

Sounds like depression. Sometimes physical exertion can help elevate the symptoms of depression. The toughest part is that when your depressed it's really hard to get yourself motivated to get up and move around. Just kinda have to force yourself.
