As I've got older, and thanks to the cognitive behavioural therapy I did, it's now much easier for me to pick out irrational thoughts that are coming from the depression and realise they're irrational before they upset me. In the worst case, I can at least say "this thought is not rational or useful", even if I can't deflect it or get rid of it.
