Who can I talk to about depression?

It can be difficult trying to talk about your feelings, especially when you feel depressed. Usually, it is most beneficial talking to someone who you can trust or are familiar with. This can be a parent, teacher, or friend that you know. This can even be someone here at 7 cups! We love helping you and our job is to listen (:

A close friend is not as hard to talk to such as an adult or sibling. They will always be by your side, and would never make you feel bad.

There's many people you can talk to about depression, your parents/family members, your friends, your councilor

Me ! Or if you'd rather, you know try talking to your cat or dog.... Try blending with them, You'll know that there's true love to you in there.

There is a lot of professionals that can help you, but talking about your emotions to your family and friends can help a lot too. Be brave!

Friends, parents, people in communities about it, people that deal with it as well, listeners on 7 Cups and other sites, your counselor or therapist. Anyone that you trust.

Y'know, you'd really be surprised how many people have experienced depression- either themselves or through a family member/friend. It's so common. Obviously, the most useful resource to you is your doctor. However, you might want to talk to a close friend or trusted family member first, so they can go with you for support. I don't know how old you are, but if you're younger then a guidance counsellor or teacher are options too. Really though, just don't be afraid of telling people. They'll likely be more understanding than you expect, There's loads of really great resources online too, for support with depression and how to talk to people about it. I really wish you all the luck in the world. I hope this helped in some way. Take care!
