I don't have experience with meditation so I can't comment on that but personally I have been though some very tough periods in my life, battling with depression and anxiety and what has helped me a lot during those periods is physical exercise and eating healthy food. Even better if I manage to join a group sport or activity. It is sometimes hard to find the motivation to do it, doesn't provide immediate gratification and relaxation but if I keep doing it is much more rewarding to my mental health compared to all other stuff I have tried.
