Luna, stick with it! I'm 59, and I've learned that YES I can make fast gains like any other age, but I think I can lose my gains faster than when I was younger. I have to keep reminding myself that regular, vigorous weight exercise does wonders for everything in my physical and emotional life.
And exercise helps with depression. For myself, it helps to not think about the workout too much....I don't allow myself to debate "should I or shouldn't I go work out?" I make myself go, and I have NEVER ONCE left the gym thinking "Gee, wish I hadn't worked out." I always leave the gym feeling fabulous and it clears my head, too.
