I'm glad you are feeling a bit better after speaking with your therapist.

Personal Opinion: This is good, this is valuable. You are entirely correct - forced positivity is draining. Allowing yourself to be sad is salutary.
Other opinions exist, and you are experiencing depression in a particular cultural environment. Nevertheless, I hope you can find ways of not adding guilt to the psychic burdens you are already carrying.
