It sounds like you're being way too hard on yourself. Comparing yourself to others is pointless. There will always be someone more advanced, more popular more: insert whatever quality. Not that you should settle for less but dwelling will not help you reach any goals.
Depression does suck though and I understand it seems there is no way out but there always is. It's kind of like falling down a slippery dark hole and you just have to feel your way out of it. To start you need to feel around in the dark and grab onto something to pull yourself out.
Luckily, you already have something and starting or restarting a meditation schedule will be the best place to start! Start small with the basics and keep track on a notepad or journal everyday. Make sure to reward yourself for completing whatever you planned. Each week review your goals and add something new when you can handle it. If you backtrack and procrastinate don't dwell or beat yourself up just start over until you get there.
Once you are steady everyday then you can add a 40-90 days working to help keep you out of this.
I keep a checklist myself of my meditation schedule among other things. It helps keep me on track and feels good when I have finished everything
Another thing is make sure you are eating properly and getting exercise. Sometimes this causes the problem but it can also develop because of depression and keep you down longer.
