Stress will make your muscles tense and unfortunately depression can cause physical problems to your body as well.
What you need to do is find something relaxing to do if you can. Some people find exercising to raise your heart beat releases endorphins that make you feel better.
Sometimes physical illness can cause depression too. You may be unaware that one of your organs or perhaps your skeletal system and muscles are out of alignment.Health Question & Answer

lack of "happy" endorphines (I forget what they are called) in the brain, hence less oxygen to the body, hence sore joints/muscles due to being starved of oxygen and when depressed many people become less active resulting in stiffness/soreness. Feel Better.
