Life tip for still completing stuff when you’re depressed: if you really can’t, then ask yourself if you can but in 24 hours or 4 hours or 1 hour. Then set it down until that time.
If you can’t commit to any time to do it, then suck it up and tell whoever it is that you can’t. Sorry, can’t. I promise they won’t take it as hard as you are.
If it’s something you must do to live, it will get done. Setting it for a specific time removes the dread and stops depleting the reserves, which you’re low on anyway.
If you won’t die if you don’t do it, how much trouble will it cause for you later? If a lot, then pick a time. Even if it’s five minutes, do it for five minutes and then go get ice cream, or whatever. It’s not easy to crawl instead of walk. It’s a lot harder actually! And slower! But. It’s forward movement.
