If/when you start to get seriously down on yourself, are you able to head off extremely negative thoughts? If so, how?

This might sound crass, but think about all the people you're better than. Go for a bite to eat with a friend (this always works for me). Clean your house out or play some sports. Crowd your senses/thought processes by doing something other than thinking. Music might work but it never does for me.

I like to take a freezing cold bath in pitch darkness while KHANATE plays agonisingly in the background. When I turn the light on I am completely naked in front of the mirror, my manhood freeze-dried into reverse-prolapse. As I walk out into the squalor of my musty, low-ceilinged studio apartment, trampling pizza boxes and and assorted dreams, drying off with paper towels and looking for something to wear off the floor, crawling gingerly looking for that elusive wearable underpants, dripping, shivering, I tell myself, "At least I'm homies with Calum!"

Movies, books, music, SOMETHING.

just think about the things you are doing right and have a good laugh at how stupid and pathetic everyone else is!

I'm very good at not thinking those things in the first place anymore, which quite possibly = older and more easily distracted than my younger, more melancholy self.

A mixture of Chaos Magick and drugs usually helps . . . . . oh, hang on . .

Sometimes attempting to head-off the negative thoughts/moods doesn't help me at all. Often a short while spent moping listening to Tom Waits weeping into a glass of bourbon going through old photos and remembering the good times and looking at your phone every couple seconds even though it hasn't rang in days helps. Like, in a getting-it-out-of-your-system sense.

I go to sleep and get up earlier than usual the next day. Nothing else works at all, really.
