Can depressed ppl be harvested?

So in my case, depression results in deactivation rather than corruption. I think I'm beyond that.

That's what I figured. That's how depression manifests for me. But nobody wants to be deactivated, because that's hardly what any of us know the potential of life is. We know it deep in our bones.

Kierkegaard talks about the concept of despair as essentially not being willing to be oneself. That is precisely what depression feels like to me: an unwillingness or learned helplessness with respect to fully being yourself in the world, however that manifests.
