See a therapist. They may refer you to a psychiatrist for medication. If medication is not needed, they can help you set some goals that will make you happy and help you plan to reach those goals, within the scope of your abilities. Cycling will not change your life if what you need is medication or help from a medical professional. Cycling can help basically healthy people navigate life's little ups and downs. If your issues are more severe, and it sounds like they are, you will need more than cycling.
Just for perspective, it's common in Europe for mental health professionals and doctors to actually prescribe light exercise as a treatment for mild depression. I suspect that cycling can make therapy more effective and vice versa.

Considering the subject matter, that's a petty complaint at best.
If people suffering from depression feel emboldened to speak up because there's already a thread, I'm all for it no matter how old the thread is.
Some topics are perishable, other ones aren't.
