People who are close to you, who you trust, and who you feel comfortable with can be great resources. Listeners on 7 Cups are always there for you too. Finally, if you have the resources and are ready to reach out, a therapist can be a great partner and asset.
Any of your family members ,friends and me (:

I myself usually talk to someone I trust other than a friend. I'm not to comfortable bringing this kind of stuff up to my parents.
The most important thing is to talk to someone but it really depends on your situation. Being here is already a start. A good friend or a close family member can also be a good option and if you are at school a teacher can also provide the help needed.

I, and many listeners on here, are willing to help you with whatever you need to talk about. I promise that we will do our best, especially since most of us can empathize.
There a lot of adults in your life that you can talk to about depression. For me, I talked with my parents and they came up with a plan to send me to a therapist so I could talk to a licensed profession to help me with my mental problems. If you are not comfortable talking to your parents about your depression, you could talk to your friends or even your teachers at school. Yes, they are there to help you learn, but I am sure they would talk to you and help you find someone to talk to.
You can talk to anyone you trust. Such as family members, friends, 7 cups listeners, group chat hosts, pets (trust me, they listen), etc. Please keep in mind that some people would not like to talk about depression or certain subjects because of personal preferences, which do not need to be explained. I would be glad to talk to you about anything, from depression to emotional stress. I am here for you as are many other listeners in 7 cups. Most of them would love to talk with you. You can also check their bio to see what they are comfortable talking about. You can contact me here, https://www.7cups.com/@AdylynS
I hope I helped!

Therapists, your family, people you trust. You can also find other people with depression, such as some on this website to talk with, because they know what you're going through.
There are are so many people that you can talk to! Never be afraid to reach out to a friend, family member, or therapist. Make sure who you're opening to to someone that will be sympathetic.

There isn't any specific person you need to talk to about your feelings; it can be from your parents to your neighbor to your dog to your teacher to the friendly cashier at the grocery store. If you feel you can trust them and they are supportive, talking to them might really help you get through the situation.
You can talk with most any listener here on 7 cups about depression. If you feel your friends or family might offer support and you trust them, it is not a bad idea to discuss it with them as well. When you feel that your depression is too much to handle on your own, it might be good to talk with your regular doctor to see what your options are.
You can talk to us at 7 cups. We have a range of listeners and therapist who are knowledgeable in depression and wish to help those struggling with it.

You can talk to listeners on here, teachers, parents, doctors there's a lot of people who would be very willing to help you through this
Well you can talk to some of the listeners here in 7 cups. Or if you feel you need a little more help than that there are mental health professionals that can assist you.
you can talk to someone who you trust...someone who respects you and cares about you. also, this "someone" should be a person who is mature enough and has knowlege already about depression, so that they can better understand all of what you tell them. make sure that the person doesn't mind sensitive topics, like depression, self harm, etc...before you go talk to that person, whoever they may be. so like parents, teachers, close friends/friends, relatives, therapists, mental health workers, your neighbours even

Find a GP who can refer you to a therapist. If you need help in the meanwhile you can be here on 7cups or reddit r/KindVoice to help you out!
Well, personally, I'd talk to someone I fully trust like a friend. But a parent or someone in your family would also like to know what is going on aswell. But, if you wish to seek professional help, maybe try talking to a counselor at school, a psychiatrist, or a therapist.
There was s many people you can talk to about depression. I would suggest talking to your parents. Another great option is getting a therapist.
You can talk to whoever you feel comfortable with. It can be your family, close or not-so-close friends, colleagues, teachers and so on. Some people find it less stressful to chat with strangers, because they are not likely to judge you by your previous expirience - they only know you know. And I like it this way too - and it's especially good that 7 cups is a community for that! And, of course, you can discuss things with your psychologist/therapist. Don't feel guilty if somebody struggles to understand you - depression is a hard thing for everyone. Good luck!
I think it's always okay to talk about depression with people you trust. It's no different from breaking your leg or having the flu. It's a sickness. You would never try to hide your broken leg, you wouldn't try to walk on it to cover it up. People you trust would be a great place to start. Parents, doctors and trusted professionals are also good. And, always, ANYONE here at 7 cups!!
Anyone you trust is a great start! Tell a parent, teacher, aunt, friend, or someone else. It's always a wise decision to go to a professional if you can, since they can really help you best. And of course, all of our lovely Listeners here at 7Cups (:
You can always come to 7 cups! But other options include a loved one, a close friend, and maybe even a teacher.

You can talk to anyone you trust. It can be a family member, a friend, or a teacher. You can also come here to 7 cups and talk to the great listeners we have here. Your family doctor is always somewhere good to go as well as looking into seeing a therapist in your area.

A counselor or therapist are great options. If you cannot afford them, you can talk to a trusted friend or family member.

Anyone you feel comfortable talking to about it, friends, mom, aunt, brother, or teachers anyone that can help you
A listener on 7 cups is a great place to start! Personally, I'm always more than happy to talk to anyone dealing with depression, because I know how hard it can be. If you have a best friend, roommate, or parent that you are considering reaching out to, odds are they are going to be more than happy to help you, too. Sometimes it's hard to reach out for help with depression, but most of the time the person you reach out to will be there to support you. You're not alone.

Family, friends, school councilors, anyone who you can trust and feel safe around.
A trusted friend,a adult you feel comfortable with, and anyone online I think its better to talk to someone you don't know then someone you know.
The best person would be your mum or dad. They can then take you to see a doctor and the doctor can refer you to a professional.
