I have a lot of difficulty deciding what to draw when I’m depressed.
You should make a backlog of inspiration or studies you want to draw when you feel good, and then when your depressed you force yourself to draw the next one in the list.
As for what you need decide your budget first, $50 will get a good quality sketchbook and good pencils, and a set of erasers (gummy, white, firm). I don’t do colour pencils but they are more expensive, goes back to budget.
Don’t worry too much about the right brands or anything like that, just buy paper that has ring bindings (easier to lay flat) and feels nice to touch, with a bit of texture to help control smudging.
If you go marjers or water colours or inks, then paper matters more.
If you don’t know what to draw, draw shapes and squiggles and practice your hatching and shading techniques.
