There are sites on-line where you can get help with depression for free. Search them out in your browser. Depression is real and afflicts many people.
You can be helped to find a way to deal with it.
If you still don't feel you can get out of the black hole then you have to get professional help.
The main thing is that you aren't alone. It is a common occurrence. People who have never had it don't realise how debilitating it can be.
In the end you will have to stop doing something you are doing at the moment and start doing something different to turn your life around. The answer isn't down there.
