When you have particularly dark and depressing thoughts, how do you go about overcoming them?

Back in the day buddies of mine bought massive amounts of worthless Iraqi dinars hoping they would increase in value and make them rich.
All over America there are duffle bags full of worthless paper notes.
(FYI the dinar has held steady at .0008 dinar to the dollar)
What is some crazy investment advice you have heard or invested in?
Did it work?

penny stock stories are especially wanted

What's a song that always brings back a happy memory?

I am listening to a Cure CD, and "Just Like Heaven" always takes me back to dancing on the balcony of a dormitory at Tulane in New Orleans with my high school best friend.  I had a crush on an emo punk boy that worked with us, not reciprocated but I was young and could still have hopeful dreams.  We were on a trip with an interest group, away from parents and strict supervision, and feeling free, like the world was open just for us.

Is there something that was once within the realm of real possibility that you really wanted to do or be (maybe still do), but you have had to accept that it's never going to happen for you?  Did you expend a lot of effort trying to achieve it before letting go, or are you still trying?  How did you get over the loss, forgive yourself for failing, and let it go?

i played "doctor" today.  a coworker collapsed.  there wasn't a lot i could do but monitor her pulse and make sure she continued to breathe until the ambulance came, but it stimulated my diagnostic mind and reminded me of the GOOD parts of medicine...the physical and mental care of patients and puzzle solving.  but even more so, it stirred up the pain and loss of the permission, if that is the right word, of actually continuing my training and being licensed to practice independently.  i find it so difficult to accept that i am pretty much incapable at this point of mentally and physically handling residency again.  the failure feels unforgiveable, which is usually why i try to suppress all memories of that time (well, most of my life, actually).  i couldn't walk away from my coworker, though.  i fear my psychological failure nightmares will start again tonight.
