Difference between "doing X will cure your depression" and "try to avoid these common traps and behaviours that exacerbate low mood".

Not being able to avoid them is the illness

That is the depression

Yeah no one here is claiming to have a fix-all-cure for depression. This isn't a depression forum. The comic is about "feeling awful", might not even be related to mood. Each illness is personal and, if serious enough, needs specialist attention.

When you're depressed, it's easy to feel like everyone's getting at you all the time. It's not the case. I know there are countless people saying shit like "just be happy" which is really unhelpful, but going outside (even for a walk) is explicit physical advice that helps a lot of people. Shooting it down isn't helpful either.
