Ok. You sound exactly like me, except I dropped one course and am plowing through the rest because its so close to the end of the semester.

Most obvious question - are you seeing a therapist? If not, get one. At least that will get you out of the house once a week.

Sleep hygiene - only be in your bed for eight hours. Force yourself to go to bed and get up at the same time every day. Do not do anything in bed except sleep (and have sex). Make sure your room is dark and eliminate all noise.

Find something to do to leave your apartment - do you need to go get groceries? Medical appointment? Shopping? Find something.

Limit your internet - decide what is reasonable and stick with it.

Get groceries - get healthy food. When you eat good, you feel good. When you feel good, you do better overall. If you don't know how to shop or cook, work with a dietician and learn.

Go for a ten minute walk once a day. Get your blood moving and those endorphins up.

It's hard to do anything when you're depressed, but doing nothing just feeds the cycle. You have to start somewhere, so pick the thing that is most manageable and you are most likely to succeed at and start there.
