You sound sad, why would you feel sad. Your doing your best. You need to find why you truly feel this way.

All you have to do really is just say that sometimes you get sad extremely sad. But sometimes you hate waking up in the morning or that you get sad a lot. You can say that you're rarely ever happy. And you don't know why because we try to be but it doesn't really work out.

Sometimes the word 'depressed' can be daunting - and saying it out loud can be difficult. Instead, you can find a way to explain how you're feeling in other words that the person can understand. Choose something that best describes how you feel - try something like 'I've been feeling down a lot lately' or 'life has been difficult for me recently'.

Telling someone you're depressed with saying it is easy enough, people naturally have intuition, you can show them through signs, being quiet, including yourself less etc, however sometimes when you just say it, it can help, tell someone you're close with, someone you trust, good luck!

When you talk about the symptoms of depression you can help describe it in a way the feels real, without using the word "depression" which can be loaded with associations. For many people they want to know how you feel, not just a label to put on you.

You don't have to begin with "I'm depressed", but start by explaining how you have been feeling. Tired? Fed up? Low? You may find it easier to write it down, and go to them with a note. If you feel able, starting a conversation can take a great deal of weight of your shoulders, and you can begin to find ways to look after yourself.

This was hard for me at first. I knew for the longest year that I had depression, but I never told a single soul and I even had a difficult time admitting it to myself. So, one day, I told my closest friend how I felt, kind of refusing to say "depression". She knew exactly what was wrong. If you do not feel like actually saying that you have depression, you could simply discuss your symptoms.
