I've had life-long depression

exercise has made my anxiety and depression worse. I've done all kinds from weight training to ramping up to a full marathon

I don't believe this metareview one bit

I’m in the same camp as you. I still exercise because I can’t see myself not exercising; plus I know it’s benefiting me physically.

For some reason I really dislike casual talk amongst people about this subject. When people causally give simple solutions to their depression I wonder if they were actually “clinically depressed.” Or they say X helped but forgot to mention they were also on drug Y and seeing a therapist Z many times a week. My favorite internet depression cure is travel.
