Hey there!!
That's just one more lie that the depression has to offer us all. I have this thought frequently! I even tell myself that it doesn't matter that I have an illness...that doesn't excuse me being worthless....
The things we can get to telling ourselves. 
I don't have many wise words for you other than to keep fighting back against the thoughts and feelings. For every time they tell you bad things that in your heart you know aren't true, stand up to them and answer back..."NO..you're wrong!! I am depressed and there is a legitimate reason for me to feel this way. Depression does not mean I am weak, or pathetic. Depression means I am depressed."
Sometimes it helps me to talk back to my thoughts and feelings. It gets a bit relentless, especially if these thoughts are more frequent, but it's something that I think has helped me. It won't necessarily bring you out of a low, but it can help you be more patient with yourself. 
Lots of hugs for you if you want them!!
