I think I'm depressed but I don't want to tell anyone?

Its understandable that you feel uncomfortable. Unfortunately there is a stigma associated with anxiety/depression. You have to remember that you are not alone and there are many people dealing with depression, just as you are. You've made a great stride by joining 7Cups and sharing your feelings with us here. Stay positive and connect with a listener (or several) and, if you feel the need, try to find someone in your personal life that you trust and can confide in. Keep your chin up, you can get through this!

It can be scary and difficult to admit that you are feeling depression, but it is nothing to feel ashamed or embarrassed about. Talking with someone you trust can often be very helpful in creating a positive change or finding relief. You don't have to reveal everything all at once either; it's okay to open up over a period of time to someone and explain more as you feel comfortable and gain trust and support from the person you've confided in.

You see, I thought I was depressed about 4 years ago.. I didn't want to tell anybody but it just got worse. I eventually started to selfharm, I didn't want to feel the way I do anymore so I started to see a therapist. Talking to her makes me feel better & I think if you give it a chance then you will feel better too!! Just know you're not alone

Being depressed isn't something to be ashamed of. 1 in 3 people in the UK become depressed which shows it is nothing but the normal. There are plenty of professionals out there to help support you with whatever you are going through.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Maybe you could talk to some friends to see if they feel the same way .

You don't have to tell anyone. Just give yourself some space to figure out the main reason behind your depression. You can try mediating, going to walks or listening music.

If you have clinical depression, the best thing you can do for yourself is to ask for help. It may be scary, but in the end, it's amazing how reaching out to people can help you.

It can be very confusing when you aren't sure how you are feeling, but sometimes it does actually help to talk to someone. Think of it like a steam vent... I know when I feel like I'm having a bad day I'll search out a friend, or talk to one of my fellow listeners to vent in confidence.

It important to tell someone espically if you feel bad and need to see a doctor or therapist for it.

Depression is usually temporary, you should focus on good behaviors and do write down your feelings.
