Negative thinking

Last couple of months I have been so negative that I'm pretty convinced that no good could come ever out of any of my actions. Just like that old fable where anything the king touches into gold, I was bringing bad luck to any project and to those around whom I could set my eyes on.
As I was looking at various options to come out of my defeatist attitude I thought work could save me from my misery but recession was taking a toll on me indirectly this year. Last year it drained me of my finances and taught me humility by reducing my stocks to zilch, thank God they dont go into negative.
When work didnt provide any solace I thought working out might serve to boost both my sagging body and spirit. Just like my mind my body could not stand the ordeal. Someone suggested burning money could bring back one to his senses and I could help the world economy by spending. I was blown away by the quality of sound and then by the cost of the headfone. On a normal day with a miserly outlook I would have never bought that damn thing.
Again on the suggestions of like minded dejected souls I switched to rock music, never loved nor understood such music but now I was hooked for a good part of the day and even without the headfones the effect lasted for the remaining part of the day.
After the stock market crash I could no longer stand the depressing business news channels and the optimistic single concept based Happy Ending Hindi movies could only add insult to injury. So thought of watching premier league matches and there my bad luck was hitting ManU which had to undergo the misery of losing back to back games after a long time in premier league history.Luckily for India I'm not following the test series in New Zealand keenly.
Finally I hoped nothing worse could happen but I was wrong and so I decided to fulfill my long cherished dream of picking up an addictive vice. I was not enjoying this vice but was not willing to let go.As usual when the mind was about to give up the body got afflicted and I landed up at the physician's desk. His diagnosis relegated the illness to occupational stress and the physical tests confirmed the same. Thank God they dont have a test for detecting depression yet or else atleast I could have scored well in this test on a consistent basis.
