Who can I talk to about depression?

A 7 Cups Listener, a friend who may or may not also struggle, a professional therapist, teacher, family member, co-worker. We find listeners in various places.

A listener on 7cups, your parents, a family member, doctor, friend, partner, etc. I would highly recommend a doctor who can possibly refer you to a counselor, or maybe even consider the possibility of medication to help you.

Talking about depression is not easy. Taking it step by step could be a good choice. You may start by talking to a kind 7cups listener, or caring and willing member of your family. Best choice is always seek professional advice.

You might/ might not believe in God, but if you do even better if not why not try? Give it ago I promise you it doesn't hurt, speak to him, yes to God! Tell God everything from what causes you to be depressed to how it makes you feel all the time ask he to help heal you and protect you from whatever is causing it, let God know everything, he will never judge you and he cares about you more than you know it takes faith and a conversation with God for your healing and a step closer to a better and brighter day. Also, if your comfortable try see a therapist, find things which make you happy to distract you from whatever makes you depressed I know it doesn't go away over night but one step at a time no need to rush.. Good luck!!! :)

You can talk to anyone you feel comfortable with about depression, as it is a topic we don't like talking about. Not because it's bad it just isn't a fun topic. I'd talk to a listener like myself here on 7 cups, a good friend, a patent, a doctor or trusted adult about depression. If things get worse consider finding a therapist.

Find a safe, supportive and non judgmental person, professional or support group like a 7 Cups Listener to help you during this difficult time.

This is just a silly question; There's thousand of listeners here who actually want to hear about your depression, including myself.

When you are feeling depressed or you are diagnosed with depression there are many people that you can talk to. Some of the poeple are trusted adults, counselors or therapist, a hotline and there is tons more.

Hey! We have a lot of active listeners here on 7 Cups! Feel free to send a request in and we will be with you shortly :)

You can talk to anyone who's been through it. I would suggest a therapist, social worker, someone on 7cups or perhaps a trusted friend or family acquaintance. It usually doesn't help much to talk to family about depression, at least that's my experience. Good luck!
