Our depressed minds will do everything they can to make us feel worse than we already do. It sounds like that is what is what might be going on here. Your depression is grabbing onto (and probably creating) this idea and making you feel one of the top features of depression: guilt.
You are not required to buy into the suggestions your mind creates. You're doing fine with what you're doing.
I hope you feel even better soon.

You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. A name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle.
