I love sewing and creating things so my depression really effects my creative side. When I'm feeling really low I don't want to do anything, then as the day goes on I feel more and more guilt and shame for not doing anything so I make myself do something really small. Like if my goal is to finish a necklace, I'll make myself pick out the beads I'll use. Once I get started it usually makes me feel like doing something more.
Good luck!!!
