@Gridfamiliar,
Physical activity is good, plus getting out of the house and being among people should be helpful as well. Get another perspective on life that isn't just your own thoughts. Sunlight may also help, and getting out can get you that (although not today where I live; it's pouring here).
Certainly it isn't anything that can possibly hurt you.
Talk with your doctor to make absolutely sure and also to give him or her a heads up about this. It's probably fine, but you can never be too careful.
And I'm really sorry this is happening.
