Are you on any medications for your depression? If not, it might be something worth looking into. I am on an anti-depressant myself, and find it very helpful along with trying to keep busy with routine. Exercise is hard for me to do as well, but I -always- feel better after doing some.
Something that helps me is to write down a list of things I'd like to get accomplished. Then I will do one task, followed by something that I consider "fun" or leisurely, like playing some of an online game I enjoy. Then I do the next task, and continue this pattern. Crossing things off a list sounds so ridiculously simple, but it adds a feeling of accomplishment.
With exercise, start super small. Tell yourself that you only need to do 5 minutes, and work up from there. Be kind to yourself, there will be good days and bad days. Depression is a big monster to deal with.

Hi, yes I am on an antidepressant, and like I said it helped me for a while with 5-6hrs of sleep and I was feeling a lot better but I just hit a patch and I just feel like I can't escape it.
I've tried the making a list, even if it's just household chores but it doesn't always help.
Thanks for the reply.
