"You need to stop using it [your depression] as a crutch."

The person who said this was belittling me for not having a job yet, and I tried to explain to him that a lot of things that seem easy for a normal person are very very hard for someone with severe depression to do. His response to that was the ignorant statement above. And this was before I even graduated college; school itself was more than I could handle at the time. He went on to imply that it's basically a choice to have depression and that I needed to get over myself and snap out of it. (Side note: I have not spoken to this person since.)
