Welcome to Psych Central, Warrior. Here's a link to the Depression forum, here on PC, just in case you haven't already found it:

In my case, I simply make myself do whatever it is I need to be doing. Years ago, my father used to say: "You're not required to like it. You're just required to do it." I've taken that as my mantra.

Here are links to 2 articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of coping with depression:

Depression: Symptoms, Types & Treatments | Psych Central

Living with Depression: A Guide for Coping with Depressive Feelings | Psych Central

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.
