What if you tried exercise and it didn't really... do much?

  I would ask what exercise was tried, how regularly it was performed, and how long the effort to exercise was maintained. Not saying that exercise is always the answer, but different people respond differently to different types of exercise. Consistency and regularity are also important.

  Not quite sure. Maybe look for different ways to break out of your depression? Usually I find that I'm ignoring really important areas in my life, and just squashing it under my anxiety. For me, the biggest ones are exercise, and relationships. Once those things are dialed in, things usually start to run smooth again. For me, exercise is one of things that's actually in my control, and the return-on-investment can't really be overstated for how well it's worked out for me. It helped me get outta lot of ruts, and get over some deep internal issues I was grappling with. I know it sounds dubious and unscientific, but it's worked for me and I think intellectual folk tend to write this off for whatever reason.

  Do you even lift?
