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

my advice is that it is probably best to tell someone as they can help you but dont scream about it. tell someone you love and trust and that you know will make you feel better

Tell someone, the first few steps to become free from the sadness is to be with people who are understanding of the situation.

I think you should. Tell someone you trust. Tell them how you feel, why you feel this way and maybe ask for solution if you want. Don;t keep it to yourself, it will make you feel worse i think.

Why? If you don't want to tell anyone, think of the reasons why you don't. If it's because you're afraid of how they'll react, think logically about how they would react to someone else close with them telling them they're depressed. If you're uncomfortable with them knowing, tell someone close to you what you're experiencing and make sure they know that any pressure from them to know more would be unappreciated. Check with your doctor, if you don't want to speak with someone close to you. List the symptoms and seek help from them; they'll most likely even share this information with your loved ones if you don't want to do it yourself, though your loved ones will want to talk about this with you and understand.

It can be terrifying to share how you feel, but it can also be liberating, remember you deserve support.

Tell them anyway. Let them love you. Let them take care of you. Tell them if you need them. They'll probably notice anyway.

7cups is a great place to start for that. The anonymity of it makes the site feel more comfortable--I feel for listeners and members alike. What kept my depression growing for a long time was to keep it to myself, it feels like an internal battle that you hope will fix itself one day. The truth is, there's no better time to talk to someone about it than the present! Depression is a negative self-reinforcing cycle, and only gets worse with time, so talk to a listener or a close friend about it. There's more love in the world then you think, but the depression makes you think otherwise.

Think Positive, be with positive people, talk to a best friend, get a pet and do what makes you happy.

It is understandable that you don't want to tell anyone, there is a lot of stigma associated with mental health conditions and it is common to feel afraid. By not telling anyone how you are feeling you are risking falling deeper into your depression as a consequence of social isolation. I am not advocating telling everyone you know, but often people find it easier to share these feelings with a few people they trust such as close friends or family members. As you mention that you "think" you may be depressed it may well be worth researching the common symptoms of depression and trying some self help measures as a first line measure. Speaking to a health care provider such as a GP, or mental health therapist may also allow you to discuss your concerns and alleviate some of the anxiety you feel around telling people, the symptoms of depression can actually overlap with some serious physical health conditions so it is well worth getting it checked out even if you do not want to tell people you are "depressed".

I know how that feels. Although you may feel better if you reach out for help! It's never easier to be alone!
