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

Sometimes it's best to talk to someone on the outside, like a doctor, a counsellor, a teacher or whoever you feel comfortable with. You can even talk to people anonymously. This provides you with comfort in the fact they don't know you, so cannot have any bias towards you or judge you from their own past experiences with you.

You can find an online therapist to help you with your depression, or you can locate one in your area. You can also talk to listeners on 7 Cups if you need to work through anything.

If you are not getting any type of support from your friends or family, you can always go to other people for help, like another trusted adult or person you know. Or you can go to a site like this one and talk to people who can be here to listen.

Of course you can talk to any listeners you find on here. We are here to give you that emotional support you need with the same compassion as a friend. If you don't like using this site you can talk to colleagues, or if you're still at school, a teacher.

Counselling at school, otherwise a phone counsellor, heck otherwise an actual depression group support even in real life. Otherwise I'd recommend this website finally to occasionnally find some help and someone who is willing to listen, and the group chats in the website aswell ^^

You can find online information with regards to depression. You will find information on what is depression, what causes depression, how to cope with depression and personal experiences with the mental health disorder. You can also find a wealth of information on the 7 cups of tea website. All of this information will provide you with understand which can help you understand depression further. This information may also be supportive. However you can always find support on 7 cups of tea by talking to a listener, by joining a group whether that be online or in person with other people who have similar experiences. Or you can talk to your doctor and ask for additional support which could come in the form of therapy.
