I get no emotional support for my depression from my family and friends. Where can I find real support?

I've found the most support by creating (anonymous) social media accounts which I use to speak about my situation and connect with others in similar situations all over the world.

I've always found that speaking with someone who understands and has been through the same struggles is usually best. Depression hotlines and Support group settings are always a good option. Try reaching out to your community center to see if they have, or can direct you to, any alternate forms of support.

If your friends aren't supporting you, they mustn't be very good friends. Be around people who make you happy and who listen to your problems. There are tonnes of people who want to support you, and it starts with 7 cups. As well as all of the listeners at 7 cups, there are counselors at school or a doctor who is always willing to help.

Professionals such as therapists can provide real ongoing support. Also, previous/current sufferers are more likely to validate rather than contradict what you are feeling.
