I don't think people who haven't experienced the exhaustion depression can bring understand it. Even my parents who have dysthymia don't really and they come out with the advice of "do something" and while I admit that when I am doing things, I often fell better, sometimes I don't even have the energy to get out of bed.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
