Well, I hope that if anyone has given advice to help it was done with love and because they feel genuine concern for your well being, even sometimes things that seem bad could be done in the manner of good.
I wouldn't give advice about such depression, as I know it can be very hard to deal with and often need medication. Although, once you DO get a better medication stabilized, walks and being outdoors can be good just in general, not that it will take away your sadness, but sometimes it might just feel good. But, obviously, your doctor knows what you need with medicines and such.
I have a friend who is a doctor who has told me about real sever cases of Clinical Depression, so I do know how serious and bad it can be for the poor person suffering from it. All you can do is try out their medicine and advice and work towards an achievable goal. At least you know you have an online community that does have your back. We do support you so even if our advice might not always be the best, the Intentions are only for good and love.
Feel better and enjoy your 'bear hibernation' I thought that was a cute way of looking at it.
Thank you, my dear <3
Not always it's so, about advice. Actually a year ago I lost a friend because of them. She was a vegan, and she was 100% sure that such living approach can grow you a new leg in case if you miss one. Often people are so sure that their advice can save the world that they simply can't understand that a person can not be able to follow it at all (for example I can't do sports when my heart is about to jump away from my chest, but I do a lot of sport when I'm OK and I really love it).
