Short term: Tell your friend/family/acquaintance/random person in the street that you need someone to escort you into the doctor’s office because you’re having trouble doing it by yourself. Ask them to be that someone. Offer them a small amount of money if need be so that you’re not wasting their time, or buy them lunch or something else for them if they refuse to accept money directly.
Slightly longer term: Repeat the above process to get yourself into a therapist’s office, because you have reached the stage of depression where you need outside insight and accountability to be able to improve, and providing that help is a therapists’ job. (I also second what other people have said about inquiring around for a therapist who charges on a sliding scale, or taking advantage of local residency/intern training programs to get cheaper access to care. In the latter case you’ll also be providing a service for the therapist in training by giving them someone to practise on)
