It's a very serious thing that you are asking Sleeping Forest, and I do hope that you seek some medical help if you think you are really depressed, losing weight and appetite, not sleeping, feeling sad, not yourself.
Here are a few things you might consider,
Of course, it is nice to get outside and go somewhere with a friend, or just go somewhere by yourself that you feel is nice to visit.
I'd encourage you to talk to a spouse, friend or relative, or maybe try to meet someone new but don't be discouraged if things don't work out. Go for a drive, a ride, a jog, a walk, etc. Anything that is outdoors if it is a nice sunny day, warm or cold doesn't matter. If you haven't tried it, lifting light weights every other day or so can be very uplifting and really help your mood. Gradually increase the weight if you find it is too light. Any sport you desire to play is encouraged, exercise can really help to feel positive and productive.
As far as some things for doing alone are music, art, an occasional video game, and all kinds of videos. We live in a very consumer oriented world where the largest crap always seems to me to rise to the top, but the joy in deciding for yourself what you like, and don't like, should be very special and it doesn't matter if nobody you know likes something that you do. Do you have any music that really speaks to you, or art, a movie, or whatever you find some real interest in that gives you a better understanding of yourself when you spend time doing it. I recall you mentioned you enjoy Anime. I guess that means you have seen Voltron (original) or the classic Star Blazers, or Inuyasha? And that is just a tiny bit of the great anime available today, there's so much. A lot can be had on youtube for free, so no worry about expense of buying them. Even if you don't have a lot of free time, music while you work at a job can be really enjoyable and take stress off of you and make time go by more enjoyably. Find what you enjoy. If you don't enjoy anything, try to ask others what they might recommend. Try all sorts of things. See if you enjoy any of them. Try some new foods that you haven't had before.
I would encourage you to write down your feelings in a journal. This is not to show others, it is just for you to write in. You probably won't realize this unless you try it, but writing down your feelings and things that are on your mind can be a big help in getting over fears and doubts, dealing with stresses, and overcoming problems that may arise, as well as making plans for the future.
Finally, try to stay positive about things. This may be hard to do. Focus on what you can do to make your life better, solve problems that are worrying you. Budget money better. Smile more. Laugh. Talk to family members. See what they think you can do to help them.
