I think they have a place with the right people, but I wasn't one of them, just like I fall into that percentage of people medication doesn't help.

I made an effort when I knew I was dwelling negatively mentally to change the subject. I'd clamp down hard when the memories my brain tormented me with resurfaced and I'd switch topics, usually to writing but not always. It was working, mostly, and I was managing and hadn't been really low and then... I don't know. I lost it and a lot of stuff has gone wrong and I can't do it as effectively when I either can't write or can't find a more positive mental subject and when so much is going wrong or there are what seems like huge obstacles to writing/publishing, that doesn't work.
