That's okay! If you are depressed and you don't want to tell anyone, it's not a problem! There is no law that says you have to tell everyone you see that you are depressed, or really anyone at all. Just keep in mind that letting it out and also help you. You are the boss of yourself, remember that forever.

Indeed I'm pretty sure im depressed but I dont tell anyone because im scared to show to people how I really feel, when all they been thinking that I must be the most happiest person they have ever met. That also makes me very hard to accept it.

I understand you; call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline please and get help, and don't hide your feelings.

It's best to really figure out how you're feeling before you tell someone . In all honesty telling someone would be best but only someone you know you can trust and that's able to provide comfort and support towards you :)

Would you consider telling a medical professional? They are trained to deal with your situation sensitively and confidentially. Depression is an illness and they will treat it as such, so it may be less daunting than speaking with someone you are close to.

You don't have to. But you don't need to hold off because of shame. Depression isn't shameful. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Sometimes telling someone can offer relief. It leaves you less isolated and can leave you feeling supported. Sharing your story isn't a cure, but it can be healthy and freeing.

Well there are always signs, but it's always good to tell someone you think you are depressed before it gets worse.

You should let a close friend or someone trustful you look up and if they don't listen tell them that it is wrong to do.

There are a few simple signs to watch out for. Do a test. There is a link in the Community Q & A - I do one every so often. See your Doctor - they are experts. Try a phychologist - they really help you get to know yourself and how to move forward. Then read, exercise, spend time in nature, get some sun, spend time with animals, be thankful for small things, dream and take steps towards your dream everyday. Depression is sad but its ok to be sad now and then. Trust your loved ones the truth is they probably already know, chances are they are too. Little steps. Take Care. Big hugs.
