am I using my depression as an excuse?

...See more i have major depression disorder since about 4 years. today while I was talking to my mother she kept telling me all the exercises i should do for my mood to be better. i asked her, that when most of the days i don't even feel like getting out of my bed and all my energy goes into doing basic things of my day, how do I exercise inspite of that. she says I should increase my stamina and I'm having a wrong approach. "when you feel like not getting out of bed, that's when you should get out of bed" was what she said. but i couldn't explain how physically overpowering that feeling was. i have a bad relationship with exercise. when I was at my lowest, my family woke up me up early in the morning to go "jogging" when i was barely getting through time. when i didn't agree, there was conflict about how I was lazy, arrogant and stubborn. i also became very conscious of how I looked. which is why maybe it just feels weird anytime anyone asks me to just go exercise. but what if that's whats I need? what if I'm actually being stubborn because I don't want them to be right? because that means they'll be right about the other things to? all the bad things.. idk if anyone will read this. but just putting it out there I guess. what if I'm too comfortable. what if I've let go of things I could do because there is label I can use now? something to blame? but how do I explain not letting anyone around me know about it? mind is a weird place.
