There is no doubt that we must all be very aware of the "double D problem". It is even more critical if you live alone. So how do you deal with the ever present underlying depression?

The worst thing you can do is to stay in bed thinking that sleep will make it go away. Sleep will pass time, but you need to expend energy to overcome depression. Try expending energy in three ways:

1. Physically by doing some kind of exercise regime. Walking is good if you can do it.

2. Emotional energy. You can cry, laugh, love, hate -- get involved with helping others as means of expending emotional energy. Perhaps you can think of others.

3. Spiritual energy. This is the most difficult to define, but some good ways of expending spiritual energy are: praying, loving, Bible study and teaching others about faith and spirituality.

If you do these, you will overcome your depression with no drugs to hurt you. John
