How can one write when suffering from crippling depression?
become addicted to alcohol, and maxline your depression so that it reaches absurd, art levels.
In fragmented and run on sentences
Horrible format
Disorganized drafts
And very illegibly
In aphorisms or very slow progress.

Falling so far from a silver spoon, making the moon for fun
Changing a rope for a size too small
People all get hung

The pain of being alive is one of the best fuels for the freedom that is to write fiction.
Tho this fiction isent necessarialy "cuddles and hugs".
Usualy is the oposite.

This. I've done it.
Sending messages to women on tinder.

This is the idea, but try to do it well.

That's a sure path to circles of hell you don't wanna go.
how can one not write when suffering from crippling depression

I can't.
I just stare at my screen. Shitpost. Watch some dork ass vlog. Listen to music. Have 1000's of tabs on.
And when I start writing I feel like a miserable piece of shit because it doesn't amount to much.
I can only create when I have a tiny bit of positivity in me.

Try turning off your internet.
Start by writing about how miserable you are. Write about what it's like to be depressed. It sounds like a bad idea, confronting it like that, but the feeling is surprisingly cathartic and gets you back to writing something, even though you're not likely to ever share it with anyone.
When you've done that, try writing something else. Doesn't have to be the project you were working on. But you'll find it easier once you have your flow.

That's the only time when one can truly write

That's not the idea behind it.
Casual depression and hopelessness is in some way comforting and can lead us away, but in the end, it will grow into genuine morbid suffering and you'll end up deciding wrapping a noose around your neck is preferable to living another day.

Yeah, I know. It's obvious bad troll advice, idiot.
