Profuse sweating responds to low doses of tricyclic antidepressants, such as nortriptyline (Pamelor,Aventyl) {http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/Sweating-from-antidepressa.html}.
There is evidence that hypermetabolic doses of thyroid hormone T3 treats depression effectively in women, regardless of their hypothyroid status: (http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/Thyroid-augmentation-of-an.html). This would speed up your metabolism modestly.
When you do get to the gym, be motivated by the fact that exercise itself has a beneficial effect on depression: {American Psychosomatic Society
