I think the most pervasive mistake made by people on Psycho-Babble (and elsewhere) is to attempt to compare their experience with mental illness to those of others, and to question another's resolve to function at any given level.
It sounds as if you are saying that I could have defeated my depression long ago if I had only known the trick to "do something". What didn't I do? What do I continue not to do? When did you first discover this "trick"? Are you now cured of mental illness such that you can discontinue treatment? If not, then why haven't you defeated your illness by "doing something"?
You say that you could "hardly" move when you composed a track for a Mercedes commercial. Can you better describe this experience? I would like to compare it to what I have seen in others.
