I was taught that guilt is healthy. It motivates you to do something about a behavior. Shame is when you internalize it and think you are a bad person because of it. Not healthy. If the guilt got you out if bed maybe that's good. If you think you are a horrible person for spending so much time in bed than not so good.
If you are severely depressed a lot of things you just can't help and have to cut yourself some slack. Acceptance and self foregiveness.
I often have to just let myself be depressed with the symptoms that go with it and accept myself as I am. While at the same time I am doing what I can to treat it. All kinds of treatment but often the treatment doesn't work.
