Hey there! Just thought I'd chime in since I have gone through the same thing in the past and would like to share what has worked for me
Just like anything else, it takes work to change your thoughts. It takes time and a LOT of practice. Our brain can be a bitch sometimes and negativity attracts negativity. And before we know it, we get so fucking deep into it that we don't see a way out. Now, I am not an expert on this, but I can share with you what has worked for me. In fact, I am going to share with you what I have been practicing for the past 4 years that took me out of depression, and allowed me to completely stop taking antidepressants. I am not a shrink, so please don't consider this as medical advice (because it's not, it's mostly spiritual). Also, I am not saying that I don't get negative days anymore, because I still do. But I try to make myself feel better as much as I can.
Meditation:
There are a few guided meditations that you can use to feel better. Some of them are almost instant, but some of them need repetition and a lot of time (totally worth it). Here are a couple of the ones that I HIGHLY recommend:
Bob Proctor's Paradigm Shift:
You need to practice this for at least one to two months to start seeing some changes. And keep doing it, even when you start seeing changes. When I did this the first time, I started seeing changes in my mood and outlook on life in a few weeks.
Dr. Wayne Dyer's 5 minutes before you sleep meditation:

Use the last 5 minutes of your day before you drift off saying this prayer. Do not think about how bad your day was, or what the fuck is coming tomorrow. Just say the prayer, even if you don't feel it. You will eventually.

How to manifest anything by We Are Creators - this one is super powerful and almost always instant:

Affirmations:
Take one positive affirmation that you want to manifest and repeat the crap out of it every day. The affirmations can be either about abundance, health, love or anything that your heart desires. But take one at a time. I learned that our subconscious mind can get very overwhelmed by our thoughts and it can be very difficult to manifest so many things at the same time. So try to do one at a time.
Some examples of positive affirmations:
I feel good about money and I deserve it in my life
Great wealth is flowing to me now
I know I am abundant
I am worthy of my desires
I achieve whatever I set my mind to
I am worthy of positive changes in my life
I am aligned with my purpose
If you can write them down a few times every day, even better.
Subliminal messages:
Subliminal messages can do wonders to your subconscious mind. But again, they need to be repeated over and over and over. The best way you can use them is to listen to them as you sleep. Preferably with headphones on.
Gratitude:
I totally agree with Miss_ShaSha. Gratitude is one of the things that I live by every single day in the morning and at night. Before I go to bed, I thank the Universe for whatever happened that day (even if I had a shitty day), then in the morning I start my day with gratitude statements. It doesn't have to be much, just something like I'm grateful for waking up another day, I'm grateful for my house, for my friends, for my health etc etc. Tiny things, and soon you will realize that every day you will have more things to be grateful for.
Sometimes we may feel so negative that every gratitude statement feels like a lie. In that case you can use things that you know in your subconscious mind are true. For example, you could be grateful that the sun rises every morning, that the sea is abundant, that the birds are chirping etc.
Cleanse and Smudge:
Whenever I feel bad energy, I smudge my whole place with sage. If it's hot enough and I am close to the sea, I do a sea ritual to clear all negative energy. It works every single time.
Reiki:
If you know someone who can give you a Reiki session, go for it. If not, you can learn how to do it yourself. I learned Kundalini Reiki a couple of years ago and it works wonders. You can find all the steps to become a Reiki healer here:

Sorry for the long post, just thought I would share what has been working for me for the past few years. I hope it helps you too
