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.

Thank you for responding. I think it is the shame side that I need to work on more so than the guilt. Looking back at today, I don't think there's much I would have been able to do because of feeling so depressed, it's better I did just stay in bed and ride out the bad feelings.
