How to tell someone you're depressed without saying it?

If I wanted to tell someone I was depressed but couldn't say it verbally, I would try writing it down. Give it to them, let them read it when they are ready or have time. Or I would maybe find someone that already knows, have them sit and talk to them for me.

I guess you could write a letter to them or text it to them? You could make it obvious to them that you don't feel like you're healthy, if they're a close person to you then its important that you tell them, I think.

It's quite simple. Just say, "My life's been going lame for a while. I feel it's totally not worth it. I feel kinda bored with the same life everyday"

A great way in which I sometimes express things that are hard to say is using music. I would pick out a song that express the situation I'm in and send it to the person and say this is the theme of my life my right now. I can even have the person listen to it and say this is currently my situation. The person usually understand because music is such a powerful way to get a message across.

There's no shame in explicitly telling someone that you're depressed. It's an actual problem that needs to be addressed so it's perfectly alright to say it as it is, without using euphemism. However, if you do feel uncomfortable doing that, you could let your friends/family know that you've been unhappy for a while and would like to explore ways to resolve it or cope with it. Perhaps you could discuss how you've been feeling for a while/some of your thoughts. Also, be careful who to confide in--usually start with people you trust the most and who you think would handle such sensitive information in a mature way.

Maybe say you've been finding life especially hard recently/or [insert time]. Or you could say you are finding it especially hard at the moment. Just try to let someone know and they will be able to help you.

Sometimes you just need to be honest with yourself and your loved ones. I recently tried to ask a hypothetical question to a friend to avoid getting and made this friend very mad at me. My friend said it was dishonest not to just ask the question outright.

maybe by pointing the symptoms out in some sort of way or u can write it down if itll help with like a website where they can see which symptoms u have so they understand more

If you want to implicitly tell someone about your depression you might say that you're not feeling the way you should be and have some work to do. You might follow it up with something else to make them realize that. But in seriousness, why not be explicit about it if youre talking to someone important?

Tell them your feeling down, you havent been yourself you haven't been happy for a while, you havent had the energy for anything
