I deal with some anxiety and it sucks. Never depression. Exercise has helped me as well, just getting out sometimes is hard but I just DO IT! When I get to feeling bad I do push ups, it sounds strange but I do as many as 35 at once and then I do 4 or 5 more reps. it generally takes about 20 minutes but it really gets your mind going and active and thinking about the good stuff and the progress you've made. An added bonus is when al the girls at work say "wow have you been working out." BIG confidence boost. Anyway just try it if you can! Another trick I use is music, I put my headphones on and lay back in the lazy boy and blast some good ole music it really boosts my mood, rock, blues, and some heavy metal do the trick! Good luck Buldog
