Do I need to tell people that I'm depressed?

yes because family members and friends can help you and support your need and deserve family members or close friends can find easy to cope with the situation and it ease the symptoms. Also having someone at school, College and work who has some ideas what you are going through because some days are worse than others you don't need too much to explain to them what are you going through and how are you feeling. It's hard to cope it alone talking to someone making them to listen to you make you feel better.

Yes because you need to get it out and solved its better to flow like a river in a meadow, than to be in a bottle the rest of your life cap.

I think that you don't have to justify yourself to anyone unless you choose too. I think that putting a label on yourself should not define who you are as a character either. Sometimes trying to explain yourself to others doesn't always work as they might not understand, only the best ones try to. Remember that your self-worth and self-value are more than what meets the eye and you don't have to explain your feelings to anyone, if you are sad then that's how it is, you can't help it and you shouldn't be made to feel blame for it either.

Well it depends. It's important to find someone to support you like a friend or family. But it's also your personnal life, you don't have to tell everyone if you don't want to.

It's not something people usually say as an icebreaker. Your mental state is something that is important, and you should tell it to people you trust, and that they need to know. There's no need to tell your boss, but it is something you need to tell your close family and friends.

I truley helps to tell others if you feel depressed because someone does care. Thats how I found 7 cups.

Yes it is important to confide in somebody if you are feeling depressed. Bottling up your feelings is the worse thing you can do. Clinical Depression is a serious illness and won't get better on its own. You need professional help and treatment to help you recover.
