Depression can do that. It does that to me... sometimes with the internet, sometimes with watching TV. For a while I was able to channel it into working on my website and I got a lot done. I was still sitting, essentially "playing" on the computer all day, and not getting anything else done... food, bills, etc. But I was lucky to find something that at least gave me some satisfaction of accomplishment and was constructive.

Maybe you can find something... what is it you like about Solitaire? Is it sitting at the computer? Is it the card game? If it is the computer, maybe try to find something else to do on the computer... maybe learn about an interest or hobby by researching on the internet? If it is the game, maybe getting a deck of cards and shutting the computer off will help break the cycle. Ultimately I think we do these things to avoid what is stressful. Maybe a way to channel something toward your goal by using what you are already doing. I spent some time signing up on Monster.com with my resume... it helped toward my goal of looking for a job, but also kept me in my "safe" environment, web surfing on my computer.

Ultimately I think as the depression begins to lift I think this will be less of a problem.
