As someone that has gone through something similar and recently got out of it.
Seems like you haven't started to make any plans on what to change. I'd wait to talk to your manager/company until you have a better idea of what you need. But then do, maybe they offer some extended time off, maybe they have other mental health resources available. If they do try to make use of them.
Take your time. Don't think you'll be back to where you were any time soon if ever. Maybe your work life will be different from here on out. Maybe you'll have to live with it. Prioritizing companies with good work/life balance is a must.
If you have the means definitively take some time off. The more the better. Or take a part-time job if you still need some income.
No hobbies no problem. Play video games, watch movies, netflix and do exercises every day. It's important to keep your mind and body moving with something that is stress free.
If you don't want to do anything, just sit or lay in bed all day. Look for a psychologist. This is not normal, you need treatment and it's available, is easy and it works. It just takes some time to find the right med. Don't let yourself be depressed.
When you are interested again try to create a hobby project, even if it doesn't generate any income, learn a new framework or language, or whatever technical that sparks interest in you. As you build interest again in work stuff you'll miss work.
