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.

That is great advice!I wish that I had thought about that myself!
