I understand that it is hard to motivate yourself to do things, even when it's something you enjoy, at time like these. I love photography but sometimes I can't even think about picking up my camera.
I know you said that you can't leave the house on your own but would you be able to find some sort of group to go to with a friend? Maybe a certain activity or just a local social group. You might get to meet new people which could take away some of the loneliness.
I understand feeling useless, don't worry. I don't think you're ignoring my advice, I know that sometimes it can be incredibly hard to think that anything will help at all.
I know that things I say probably won't make you feel any different while you're feeling so low, but I'm sure your family wouldn't see your contribution to life as useless. The fact that you have a family is something to be proud of :)
I hope you feel able to do your cards and jewellery again before too long - it must take your mind off things for a while. I wish I knew how to make jewellery, I see some of the home-made stuff people can make and it's beautiful!
