Thank you for the advice. I understand that external factors influence depression, but indirectly; it's the way mind interprets external events, factors, relationships etc., and in depression those processes are disrupted. We can work to change our circumstances if we begin to see what's wrong in our lives, but that can only be achieved when there's enough rationality in our thinking, which happens when depression fades.
Keep being strong.
