With the past 4 or so days, I have been extremely depressed due to suicidality. And for multiple months, I have been very depressed. Without good access to CTB, I have no choice but to fix myself. How do I do it? When I was in the very depressed state, I was unable to start fixing myself. Now, I will be completely unable. I will not exercise in any way, aside from walking. And I will stay virtually bedridden. Can I cure my deppression without movement?

Is the suicidality just a symptom of your depression?
I can tell you that exercise doesn't necessarily reduce depression, I'm in the gym for between 30 and 45 minutes every morning and two to three hours a day walking. Unless your brain is wired in a certain way exercise won't work.
I eat very healthily (a lof of fresh fruit and vegetables, mostly flexitarian so it's hit or miss if I've have meat or dairy on a given day/week).
My psychologist said I'm doing everything right and she can't work out why I'm so depressed, I'm just numb and dead inside. Most coping strategies are for intense emotions and I'm just bored and I mostly don't feel anything, though this week I'm feeling sad and alone, I guess it's something

Suicidality is because of my logic. If I was not alive, I would not be suffering. But I have no way out. I don't know how to make myself less numb.Is the suicidality just a symptom of your depression?

I can't argue with the logic, life can be suffering. I drift between suffering and nothing, I don't know what is worse.
The logic is infallible. This is objectively true.
However, that suffering would be the most, or the only significant factor in life, in not objective.
My advice is to pursue whatever seem to carry some amount of meaning, and to do so relentlessly. With some luck that'll bring you more meaning.
