You honestly have to force yourself to exercise when depressed. It's soooooo tough because you have almost no energy (mental or physical) to work with. It's like your entire system is running on a backup battery with like a 3% charge.
Putting on some music, lying on the floor and focusing on basic stretches is very helpful. Just draw blood to the stiff, achy muscles ... wake them up. If you don't feel like going to a gym or going outside you can exercise at home. If you live in an apartment building, a stairwell is a great place to get your heart and lungs pumping. Walk, run, or double-step lunge up the stairs until you get a good sweat going.
When you're finished you will almost always feel clearer in the mind.
