Used to get that crap ALL the time and not just over depression but over other things too like dissociation, spiritual crisis, you name it. "Just snap out of it and smarten up" -- all that bootstrap crap people use to cover up the stark naked fear they feel when they see you afflicted and in pain and cannot for the life of themselves figure out why they have been spared. 
Courage, friend. We have a great and glorious purpose in this world in our suffering and our afflictions, particularly those of us with no control over them: we exist to teach others compassion and give them a place to practice it. Sometimes knowing our place(s) in the universe like that can increase our own sense of compassion, and when we look at others with the compassion they have lacked toward us, somehow it ends up covering for us both.
But if that bes too abstracted for where you find yourself right now then just rest on our understanding and compassion. Know that you have people here who get it, who understand, who don't judge, and as much as you can, lean on us for that.
