don't force a smile on yourself, that usually just makes everything worse. For me when melancholia comes to visit I just take a break, put on some movie or music, order some nice food and wait it out. The point is to not feel like a constant forced smile is a requirement, if you feel down or like a depression is coming up, just sit back and relax a little. Being alone is essential for a mental reset in my experience.
