I don't know what to suggest, beyond the standard "get treatment." Ensure wouldn't have done me any good -- I'm a picky eater, and it just seemed gross.
In my case, there are a few things I would always eat, much as I hated myself for not having the strength to resist them. Is there anything like that for you? Something that might tempt you?
Otherwise, have you looked into getting a good therapist? Or whether you qualify to see a dietitian? (Registered dietitian, that is, not just a "hang out your shingle and advertise" type.) Those are the first two things I'd recommend. Otherwise, what about a day program at an eating disorders facility? Or even IP?
The thing is, I don't feel qualified to offer advice, because I think you've had more experience with treatment than I have. You are probably in the best position to know what would help -- but you're also in the worst state to know, since depression paints everything with the same black brush.
I hope things get better for you soon.
