Recently I've worked hard to stay positive, but last week I felt flat. I didn't want to get out of bed, so I'd leap out and go for a walk, and then I was fine. Depression is heavy, dead energy. It's the exact opposite of the light, alive energy of which our souls are made.
If you are struggling with a down patch, before you reach for food or alcohol to numb the pain, try some action therapy. Go for a long daily walk; practice prayer and meditation; talk with a spiritual person. It will lift that dark, heavy energy, and you'll feel light and alive again.
(NB: The exception to this situation is if you are diagnosed clinically depressed, in which case you may need medication)
