Started going to the gym and it's actually helping

I've been dealing with depression for years and tried a bunch of different things. Never thought working out would make a difference but I'm 3 weeks in and I feel noticeably better. Sleep is better, mood is more stable, I have more energy with the kids. Still have bad days but it's like I have a tool now instead of just drowning in it. If anyone else is struggling I'd say just try it, even 20 minutes a few times a week seems to help.

That's awesome man, seriously. Three weeks is huge and it sounds like you're already feeling the difference. Keep riding that wave, your mental health is worth the effort.

I get it, depression hits hard. The gym has been my escape too when I can squeeze it in between hospital shifts and dad duties. You're doing great, keep at it.
