I get what level is being talked about here but I'd say the opposite was true for me: when I started going with the flow and stopped forcing everything, my depressive state shifted and gradually went away I wasn't "very" depressed though.

i think being very depressed in grad school caused me to lose trust that if i just do what comes "naturally" or "go with the flow" then things will turn out okay. when you're very depressed you learn that what that does is keep you entrenched in your depression forever

I recognise myself in yours, where I would describe "what comes naturally" as "habit" / what feeds my comfort but not deeper satisfaction. And where habit & comfort are often a groove dug by a (disfunctional) society
