I don't know what advice I would give... I really don't. Everyone's journey is so unique... people have different needs at different times. I surely have nothing to offer that hasn't already been stated in the forums and lessons a thousand times in a thousand different ways.
I guess the most obvious advice would be to not give up... but I don't really believe that. Sometimes, it is in the giving up that true healing can finally begin. I could say trust yourself... but when we are depressed, it sometimes is not a good idea to listen to the judgment and condemnation with which we pound ourselves into the ground. Take baby steps? The quagmire of depression often prevents any movement at all.
I suppose I could go through each and every piece of positive advice and counter it with a very real negative. The ideal is to turn the very real negatives into positives. It is possible, but it doesn't happen at the snap of a finger or a strongly worded wish. It takes work, persistence, and a modicum of trust... trust in the program, trust in the Health Educators, trust & respect for other members... then, ultimately, trust in ourselves can grow, become refined and support us pretty darn well. That just doesn't really happen at first ... at least it didn't for me.
Rambling thoughts..... not really answering the question.
Oh well. It's the best I can do right now and that's sufficient. Yes? Got me thinking anyway.
