Of course she's right but my lack of motivation is making it hard to start anything. So I'm going the 'fake it, till you make it' route: I'm just going to try a couple of things and keep doing them until my motivation kicks in. Who knows when the motivation will come but she's right in that I need to do something.

Scooter, my husband takes the same point of view when I’m depressed, telling me I need to get out of bed, stop sleeping, and DO things. I don’t know if you have kids or not, but my husband points out that it is not healthy for our daughter to see me that way all the time. When do you see your doctor again? How long have you been on your current meds?
