Being busy is a way to prevent negative thoughts from going around your head repeatedly. For depressed persons, the first step is often the hardest, so making yourself do things can be a huge difference in your day and getting you started.
You will have to engage in a hobby you enjoy or think you'll enjoy. Immerse yourself in it. It doesn't have to be expensive or difficult. As long as it's interesting it will serve the purpose.
And also introduce structure into your everyday life. Make a schedule of what to do every day, no matter how mundane, and gradually expand this as you start to feel better. It doesn't matter whether you work or not.
A schedule can put some direction back into a day that might otherwise feel empty or aimless.
Wishing you the best of luck.

I don't know get professional help or talk to someone or something. I can't really help you here.
Please go talk to someone! Reach out to a family member and/or friend. Please go start meeting regularly with a therapist. Do things to take your mind off stuff, do what you think is fun!
There is no quick fix to it, and I wish there were. I have anxiety, and although that isn't depression, it's actually quite similar, and both anxiety and depression can inflict one another. My family and friends said I should start going to therapy, and at the time, I wasn't willing to go. But when I finally did, thank god I did because I started progressively feeling better. And I'm not taking any medications either. It helps to talk to someone about it, and for them to give you new perspective.
Best of luck, and feel better :). Everyone in your life is there for you, never forget that.
