You get that feeling when you lose your self confidence and when you feel the efforts you put to succeed is the limit. Instead work harder to achieve your goals with a positive attitude. Take up new and tough challenges. In case you come out successful, it would be a moment to cherish and will boost your confidence for a life time!

Instead of straight up saying "I'm depressed" try talking about how you are feeling, if you are feeling in a constant low mood or not. Try listing the symptoms you're feeljng

The best way to say anything is to say it outright. Truth, Honesty, Love and Beauty will save the world. Go to your parents, friends, therapist, counselor, doctor, or other trusted professional and say "I'm depressed and I think I may need some help." It's okay. *hug*

Try to convey that you are having trouble performing everyday tasks that are normally very easy for you. Although, its just better to try and put your trust in someone and say your mind.

It's not easy and I've even spent approximately the last 10 years of my life wondering the same thing. The only thing that has kept me alive is to go against the humanistic grain and take note of what tiny, positive attributes that actually do exist in the world and when that's not enough, I think about the people I would hurt if I were to disappear from being depressed. I know it sounds cliche but when your holding on by threads and caught in a mental landslide, it can be hard to make proactive decisions when the world seems to be against you. I feel like when I do finally say something to someone, it will just get blurred out when I've past the point where none of the usual methods of coping work for me anymore. The truth and reality is that no one will understand you, that hasn't dealt with depression. It's just the way the world is, I can only suggest making a friend that can understand your troubles and heart aches, even though you may find yourself in the predicament of disliking everybody and everything like I do, you have to give yourself hope, even a false hope that you know to be false. I often wonder if my life would be better off just waking up and magically having the mindset of the majority of the population that are ignorant to most things that depress you. Such as the way the world works or how stupid people are and the order that they prioritize their lives and what they make important. I don't know how to say it but just hang in there and maybe make a friend, with as little detail as possible, that's the best I have to offer because the answer will be different for every one of us out there that's like this. It's a hard life but just find your light. Find what illuminates you and if that light happens to be telling your loved ones what you deal with then the path to finding the proper method of doing so belongs to YOU. Good luck and love from me.

Depends what you mean by not saying it. If you just don't want to say the exact words just saying that you are struggling and think you need some help can be enough especially if the person knows you well. They may have noticed changes in your behaviour a d mood already. . Just describing how you feel will alert most people, Not being able to sleep, finding it difficult to get up the morning, lack of appetite, feeling worthless, I suffered from post natal depression I didn't know that was what it was. I called a help line and said I was confused and explained my symptoms and they told me it sounded like depression which I hadn't really considered.

Here's some quick phrases that can help others understand that you are struggling with some internal battles: I'm not feeling like myself lately. I'm having a hard time seeing things clearly. Sometimes I worry my emotions are getting the better of me. My mind is a little fuzzy and I don't know what's bothering me. I'm not sad, but I am having a hard time finding motivation. I feel like I'm missing something, but I can't put my finger on it.

I am depressed can be a hard thing to say to someone else. Explaining your symptoms can be helpful in helping another person understand what you are experiencing. Saying " I am tired, tired in my body and in my mind." I feel like I just need a break, time away from everything."

If you don't want to say you're depressed, you could say something like "I haven't been feeling myself lately," or "I'm feeling down and need some help getting back to feeling myself again."
