Depression - Being stuck in quicksand, sinking, and no way to get out...apart from God. "He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand." (Psalm 40:2)
God tells us that He will lift us out of the mire, but I think we need to reach up and grab the lifeline that he's throwing to us. If it is so bad that we can't even reach up, then reach out to God with words. "I can't even lift up my hand to grab your lifeline. I don't even want to. So, please change my desires and give me strength so that I can say, 'I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.'" (Psalm 27:13)
TV:
But you, LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up... [Psalm 41:10]
