Creating an intention is a good start. Now finetune it to be more positive. Although your intention is to "not be in pain anymore, to be relieved of depression" your mind will hear PAIN, DEPRESSION.

Perhaps set an intention to feel good, to be happy, to live courageously...you get the idea.

Then start small. Affirm that "today I will feel good for one hour" or ten minutes or whatever. Then congratulate yourself for succeeding. Don't focus on the other 23 hours of being miserable. Think of it as building your happiness muscle. Some people are born with muscular physiques and some of us have to work at it.
