The best help for depression, tension, or bad moods I've ever found is exercise. Even a little helps a ton for me. Happily I have martial arts, when I can go, and that not only makes me happier but makes my body and mind work significantly hard.
The second year I was at the UofI I took a flight of stairs going to class and my heart went nuts and I was out of breath for a couple of minutes and my legs hurt. I panicked. Even though I couldn't afford it at all, I went that weekend and bought the cheapest exercise bike that I could ride and installed it in the basement and road it every morning for the next year or so. 20 minutes a day and it radically changed my life.
Now, however...I bought a new exercise bike to ride when I can't use my achilles tendon. I hate it. It's incredibly uncomfortable. So it's part of my new attempt at fixing myself to get it out and set it back up and ride it any night I can't go to class and exercise there.
I hope it works for you the same way it worked for me the first time.
