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

I would say that us as humans shouldn't judge each other by our depression.I just now took a test from a psychologist and it came oit for me as me having severe depression.Im starting to starve,damage,and keep my self up all night.I would say tell the ones who are close to you but, in a sad or serious tone.Im planning on telling my parents during the summer of 2018.And also on telling my Church friends that I have depression THIS Sunday.Give the "friends" a subtle hint and if they dont get your hint.Theyre not worth telling.

when they dont talk alot, have alot going on , always seem in an upaset mood . sometimes if they wear long sleeves it could indicate that. not all the time though

You can’t really tell someone your depressed without saying it, like others said you don’t have to say ‘I’m depressed’ I’ve struggled saying that to my mom and I haven’t even told her im struggling, I’m not diagnosing myself but if you can’t get the words out just say ‘recently I’m not coping with things very well, I haven’t (say what’s wrong) and I’ve been more emotional than ever(if you have)’ you don’t want them crying thinking it’s their fault, that’s the worst thing ever and you don’t want to be treated like your unwell because your the same person but just more down than usual.

If you're going to try to get the same message across, do it in the most straightforward way. Just tell them with an open heart and an open mind.

This is hard. For me, I tried showing subtle signs. My subtle signs included trying to getting closer to my friends which showed them how I needed their support. It worked and will be able to help me overcome depression slowly. However, do not hesitate to get help! Depression is not something to be taken lightly. I earnestly hope all the best for you. xx

There are lots of ways, but here are some that might work. You could describe how your feelings and your symptoms (i.e. I've been feeling down, I lack an appetite etc) You can be more general and say that you are struggling right now, going through a hard time, or something similar. If you want to avoid the face-to-face telling them, you can text, email, or write to them about it. You can just be up front and say it too even though it is difficult.

Mmm maybe you can say that you have been feel really sad for a long time, that it involves others parts that like lees appetite and insomnia

You can't. You just have too think calmly and phrase your sentence correctly before telling someone you have depression

Tell them of some difficulties you are experiencing which you know are attributed to depression such as difficulty getting up in the morning, maintaining self care and socialising.

You can express the feelings you've been having toward yourself, this might express to the other person that you have depression without explicitly stating it.
