The important thing is to recognize that you don't see the whole picture, and so any hard and fast judgments about yourself you might make are rather unreliable, no matter how you feel. You are in no position whatsoever to appraise the spiritual value of your present experience.

This I think would be more important than depression in and of itself.
Are these rhetorical questions?
If they're not, I shall respond.
I do separate myself but not in a STS sense.
I'm not malevolent. if that's what you're asking. that's the typical reaction of the less advanced average human.
I avoid being another source of negativity and bad intention. even with all the dishonor that happened to me. if we're not contributing to the light here, we should at least remain neutral.
btw this neutrality(custom of the outsider) results in a lack of continues green ray activity. it is active but dimmer than what would satisfy.
So in my case, depression results in deactivation rather than corruption. I think I'm beyond that.
Having talked to you on several occasions mine was rhetorical. I know your energy but was just trying to illustrate how one reaction could inhibit a being where the other could just be part of the long slog through the dark till light is found.
The deactivation seems like an almost unavoidable stage. I know I was there for a while because I was to overwhelmed but day by day you keep going till we learn to balance and shine that green ray stronger and stronger.
Things are just super challenging in 3d particularly atm with so many global political issues. You aren’t alone if overwhelmed and a bit diminished in light is where you linger don’t judge yourself for it.
Compassion starts with yourself. ((Hug))
