Depression is a tricky thing to deal with because what works for some people won't always work for others, so it's difficult to offer solid advice on the subject.
However, one of the main things that seems to work for a decent number of people, myself included, is to set goals and projects for yourself that you can make steady progress towards and eventually finish. A really simple example of this is cleaning up a room, straighten everything up and get rid of as much clutter and dirt as possible. Once you're finished you can look at how much nicer the room looks and feel accomplished with what you've done.
That sense of accomplishment is why a lot of people suggest going to the gym when you're depressed, because if you're working out you'll be making steady progress towards a goal and you'll feel better about yourself as you go.
Now, I don't know how effective this method of dealing with depression will be for you, and it'd be up to you to figure out what would give you a good sense of accomplishment.
But either way, I wish you good luck in your struggles and hope that you'll get through this one way or another.

All I can say really(since I’m not and never have been in your situation) is try to keep your head up and keep trying.

Hello.
I used to be in a status like you for a while. to be fair with you. I cope it with another job. I am studying grad school now to get another degree on other field.
I used to have a "motivation" to find a job. I think it will go well. but reality slaps it to my face that even how good I am or how many talent I am. I can't fight a man with connection. after I lost all motive. I take copium as grad school and pray it going to be well.

People.
I most often enjoy alone time, and quickly zend to run out of energy in groups, but.. real life contact is kinda the best that keeps your life on track.
A working social net is usually what keeps people from falling so far that they need peofessional help. But that is easier said then done.
Nevertheless, if one can spare the effort, it would be wise to try and get into any kind of group/hobby, even if only for the pretext of finding connections.
I wish you luck.
Already in a depressive phase it's somewhat hard, when the energy to actually make the effort lacks.
If anything.. go out. Even if it's only to grab a tea or a coffee, don't isolate. It will make things worse. The outside will need more and more effort to confront.
Even if you're scrolling on r34 and falling fown a rabbit hole, try to see the sun and some nice sights. You won't be bothered in cafés.

Get good? idk
If you keep yourself busy with your own tasks and then do things that make you happy, or at least reward yourself with. It's a bare minimum, otherwise, give your pals a call (not a text message) tell them how much you mean to them.
They will appreciate it as they may also be facing depression, maybe even without knowing it, and might try to get in touch with you too.
Thanks everyone, now it doesn't feel as impossible as it used to
