The gist of what I quoted seemed to be "just snap out of it". Telling someone to do things that make them happy, when they're having problems being happy, is pretty much the same thing, whether you realize it or not. One major symptom of depression is that things you used to enjoy no longer get you going. So the suggestion to just do them is the same as "just snap out of it." I guess you weren't aware of that. Ah well.
