Good luck!
Yeah, definitely exercise helps. Regular sleep is good, too.

I don't think any of us can emphasize the professional help part enough. I never had that option (no medical insurance for basically my entire adult life) so I've had to fight through it on my own. I hate to drop the "if I knew then what I know now" card, but I would put 25 year old me in therapy if I could. I think it would make 40 year old me's life a whole lot better than it is.
