I got medication and did lots of therapy. Friends and family helped with the lifestyle changes that can help with depression- they cooked healthy meals to make sure I was eating well, they organised socialising for me (that wasn’t too high pressure that I would avoid it- big events were a no go), they made sure I took my vitamins with my medication, they invited me to exercise with them (I often said no but when I did go it helped). If you google lifestyle changes for depression, those are the things you can help with.
Therapy, as others have said, would be a great start. It sounds like you might have an anxiety disorder of some sort (not diagnosing you, but the things you mention sound like my actions when I am in the throes of my own gnarly anxiety). A therapist can help you figure it out and get it sorted.
OP was giving context for why her husband would say that specifically to hurt her, not bragging. Why are you so cruel?

Most women make friends for the purpose of friendship not dating so yeah that's where you're going wrong if you keep asking out your friends.
If the other friend won't respect your wish to go contact less knowing it hurts you then you should block her

It's always the person saying this who is making it up.
