Every time this comes up the comments are the same. Just don't eat crap, just go to the gym, just make sure you get good sleep. It shows a total lack of understanding of depression. Of course these things work - and if people weren't depressed they might be able to try and do them. But when you have severe depression you literally have zero motivation. None. You suddenly can't sleep. You can barely get yourself out of bed. That's why things like pills are useful because they can help you get to the point where you can take the steps necessary to get your life into a state where it's less conducive to depression.>> ultimately it becomes your responsibility to try fix them if you want your situation to improve, since nobody else will.
No. This is why doctors and psychologists etc exist. Not everything is fixable by you. Sometimes you need help from other people and blaming the depressed person for being depressed is fucking idiotic.
