who do you talk to about depression?

Currently I am depressed and I can't talk to my friends about it, they wouldn't understand. I can't sit at classes or at hangouts without feeling like its forced. I do always share things with family but they have expectations from me and they don't fully understand either. I'd just be a big disappointment. I want a promising life and I want to get past this but its all locked up inside and my only outlet is the internet and my Boyfriend. I am lucky I have him. He listens, he understands, he is my strength.
