Depression is not grief. It isn't primarily about emotion. It's the inability to actually do anything. At least in my own case. I feel bad because I can't do anything, not the other way around. So helpful advice is unhelpful. Drag me outside for a walk, make me food, push me into bed, give me Far Side cartoons to look at. Don't tell me to do it myself; it won't happen and just makes me feel worse.
