You can win this fight. I sense your strength. There will be setbacks. Think about the simple idea of two steps forward, one step back.
There are no simple solutions----but even the act of striving, even with no apparent results, is better than not striving at all.
Have you thought about creating a fantasy world with all those characters you like? With all their weirdness?

Oh, I have a bazillion different fantasy worlds - I used to spend a lot of time in them. I used to write about some of them even, but lately they haven't been speaking to me - it's like the depression is a big black hole that just sucks everything else up. I've thought about at least going back and reading my stories again over the past few days - probably not a bad idea. Can't really do any harm, and maybe they'll re-capture my interest. Feels more like I've been taking one/zero steps forward and sliding three steps back lately, though

vigorous exercise is helpful to some, to clear away the mental cobwebs and distract oneself from depression. granted, it takes a superhuman willpower to make oneself get up and do it, but once one is doing it, the symptoms of depression abate for awhile.
That's something I keep wanting to try, but my lungs can't handle jogging and I can't drive, so I need someone to take me to the gym, which doesn't happen very often. We're looking at getting an exercise bike sometime soon, of the kind I've tried and enjoyed at the gym, but I'm not sure exactly when that's going to happen. Of course, I will definitely be working my way up to a really vigorous workout, because for the time being it takes a great deal of willpower just to get myself out of bed in the mornings

it has been years since Mr. Arthur Itis has allowed me to run. can you ride a bike to the gym? I rode a bike up and down hills which is superb exercise [very sweaty] but lately have been vigorously [like late for a meeting] walking up and down those same hills, with the same results. mebbe get a good pair of cushioned and supportive walking shoes and find some hills to walk up and down. or bike up and down.

I think the gym is a little more of a bike ride than I'd be up for, particularly if I was going to be then working out and riding back home. My bike is probably also in dire need of maintenance, I don't think I've done a thing with it since before I went to college, at least
I prefer to use the recumbent bikes at the gym, and I know you can get bikes like that to travel with, but I'd feel way too awkward doing that. I can, however, take longer and/or more vigorous walks with my dog at least as something to get me a bit of exercise before we get the bike. Won't do him any harm to get a bit more exercise, either
