Try hard to do some of the things your commited to do. I lost all my friends because I let my depression take me over. People don't always understand how exhausting depression is and how the depressed person isn't faking. I bet that you will be happy that you did something and it will give you more strength.
You are right, people who don't suffer with depression are quick to think we are "lazy." When actually, I just can't pull myself up.
I have gained a lot of weight, too.
