I agree 'getting on with ones life is important', and the distorted thinking for me is my life when the 'failure' and other distortions in thinking of depression are front and centre the nature of the illness along with exhustion etc.
The most helpful comment I received which is similar to 'get on with your life' but without the judgement was by a my doc, she repeated this 5 times and then wrote it out on a sticky.

"There is time and space for everything I need to do."
