If you figure it out, let me know because I am the same. Nothing is enjoyable anymore. I force myself to do something I used to love, but it feels wrong. I watch videos on YouTube mostly, but even that's become difficult to focus on for very long.
Pay attention to news stories and analysis. There are new events and updates every day and it takes all my time to try to keep up. I learn a lot of important things. I wish I did it my whole life because there's so many things I didn't pay attention to when they happened and now I have to learn them as history but I would already know about them if I just paid attention when it was happening.

I've felt the same at some point, and what I do is I play music in the background and sleep, since it's a passive activity.

May I ask what you have tried so far? I assume it's a long list, but I don't mind.
I'm in a similar boat with chronic depression (dysthymia/persistent depressive disorder).
I try to do a bit of something when I can - play some video games, have a bath, wash some dishes, whatever... sometimes I can only manage a few minutes and I have to dive back into bed to hide again. I try to have several options open so I can let my mood wander where it wants. If I need to go back to bed thats ok, but if I can sit down and watch TV for a bit thats ok too.
