[Help] I’m too depressed to take care of my puppy.

I know this is late but I relate to your post. I'm considering giving up my dog. All I want to do is work and go to the gym and that leaves very little time for my high energy dog. When I come home I want to relax and sleep, that's it. Not walk him or take him on a hike. He's also reactive and barks at everything when we're in the car or walking, or at home, etc. He's obsessed with the dog next door and jumps at the fence and barks so it's like we can't even go outside. I want to cry every time he's having these outbursts, it's so frustrating. Anyway, I used to have a part-time partner to sort of sometimes help with the energy of this dog, but now I don't. So like I said, I want to focus on myself, go to the gym and work and save as much money as possible for a move. I'm really not sure what I'm going to do with the dog.

Your pup is only 9 weeks old? Rehome him! If your friends give you crap tell them to bug off.
