    Yeah exercise never helped with my depression, not in around 40 years of living with it.

          I’m sorry but I don’t have anymore ideas. Hope you find some relief soon because depression is cruel way to go through life

            Oh I’m as good as is possible. 7 medications, something for my DNA mutation, and therapy. I only think about death and not about dying when I go to sleep at night. It’s the best.

      Same, I’ve battled chronic depression since 1989 and exercise has had a nominal effect. That said, what the studies seem to suggest that a lot of core/ab work, as well as vagus muscle work, seem to help. So not just regular excercise.
