Only if you feel comfortable about telling another person , it will definitely help you get it off your shoulders at least a little

I don't feel the need to talk about it, but it makes me feel like I am separate from other people if I don't.

No, If i tell a member that i am depressed, i don't want them thinking that i can't help them. I want the person who needs help to feel comfortable talking to me and feel safe.

If you can't bear to keep it inside yourself. If you try and hold onto your pain too long, it'll overcome you. It'll become you. It'll slowly eat away at you, and turn you into something else. If you don't think you can hold it inside you and fight it on your own, you have to tell somebody. Because, I can promise you, you don't want to become what depression can turn you into.

It might be a good idea too. They might be able to help you. No one has to go through depression alone.

No! You do not have to, but if you would like to do so go ahead. There is nothing wrong with telling someone you trust what's going on in your life.

You only "need" to tell the people you want to tell, and who you trust.. Do not tell anyone if you are not comfortable.

It is a personal choice whether you tell people that you're depressed or not- I have personally only told people that I trust as it is truly a very personal thing to me

you don't need to if you don't want to. i don't see much help in telling anyone you are depressed. i the most importan thing is that you know it yourself and try to work on it by seeing a counselor or talking to someone you trust about it.

Those you love and trust. Not everyone needs to know, but if you happen to be like me, people know anyway.
