I have taken several depression tests, found out that I possibly have depression. Now that this could be possible, how do I get better without telling anyone?

Seeking help is very important. Reach out to a therapist or a doctor and they can help you. Remember that you are not alone and that asking for help is an act of bravery :) It is difficult to tell our problems to someone, because we are afraid of being judged, but, therapists and doctors won't judge us, because their job is to help us dealing with our problem. We can also tell them that we are afraid of telling that we are depressed to our family and friends, and therapists can help us with that, too. They can talk to our families and explain what is happening. Give it a try and everything will be okay :)

one of the most important things is to talk about your feelings and how they are affecting you You don't have to declare your depressed feelings to the world ... But I would start by talking SOMEONE ... Ideally a trained/certified counsellor. 7 cups provides an online service to talk to professional counsellors or if you are at a university .. they will often have a counselling service . Similarly your workplace might have an anonymous confidential service/ telephone helpline you can use. Another person that would be good to talk to is a family member/good friend that you can trust. You also have the great listeners at 7cups who give their time voluntarily and would be happy to chat :) Another aspect to concentrate on is making sure that you are taking care of the Another thing to make sure is that you are taking care of yourself physically Make sure that you are eating/sleeping/exercising properly. There are lots of good links on this site and others.. (you should be able to get advice in this from a counsellor/doctor) These can make a big difference to how you feel Also get checked by the doctor ... There are lots of physical conditions that can mimic depression High or low thyroid Low iron Diabetes Etc Good luck ... Hope you get to feeling better

Unfortunately the only way for you to get passed what ever it is you are going through is to accept that you have depression in the first place. Do not just say 'if it is possible' accept that it's either there or not.If you have decided it is there then you need to talk to someone about it. Depression does not just happen because you took some test. You have to have gone through something traumatising or some emotional pain that left you in a bad state.Taking helps you realise things you misses on your own. The person most of the time doesn't even need to speak having someone just listen helps a lot.Hope this was helpful.
