I was in your position for a while, so I understand how you feel. Depression and writing went hand in hand. I'm happier now, but I am still writing. Have you considered finding another route for creativity? Sadness was once a route. Maybe the next thing would be the opposite: happiness, such as reviews on your stories or just feeling content. Or nostalgia; write something when you come across a well-loved old toy or a picture from a happy time in your life, or while visiting a place full of good memories. Or, let passion for some cause be your fuel; when you watch the news and something about your topic comes up, you can get riled up and use that energy to write. Or even use jealousy - "Hey, this person's writing is so good, I'm going to write better than them, starting right now!"

When we are depressed our brains change as does how we live our lives. But that can always change. We can readjust the way we work. Probably won't happen over night, but you'll get back to writing. In the meantime do some mindless writing. Just type away and don't worry about any plot or sense. Just write to let your body adjust to the act of it without the depressed mood. Good luck my friend. :)
