who do you talk to about depression?

I talk to my therapist or my boyfriend about depression. My boyfriend has the same thing so we can relate to each other a lot. My therapist shows me great ways of coping and getting rid of my depression and social anxiety

Depression is a very common mental illness that lots of people struggle with. And lots of those people, have no idea what to do with it. There are many listeners here on this site to help you out and listen to you the best we can, but the best thing for you to do is let a professional know. A doctor, therapist, or suicide prevention line can help you out. If you are in need of immediate help because you're experiencing thoughts from your depression that make you want to hurt yourself or anyone else, you have the right and you should call 911 immediately. If you just want to talk about it, you should seriously consider a mental health therapist.

To my best friend. You can talk to your mother too but I think my age fellow can only understand me completely.

I talk to my closes friends or my significant other. The people who truly understand will be able to support you better. I also talk to my doctor about it.

Friends and family are usually the best. You can also go to a therapist, counselor or someone her at 7cups though!

You can talk to a trusted friend or family member, or if you feel more comfortable and have the resources, you can talk to a therapist. And, of course, you can always talk to one of us here at 7 Cups!

I usually talk to my friends about depression because I relate to them better. I don't really talk to my parents much about it, but they don't really understand it anyway. The bottom line is that talking to someone, anyone, is an important part of the healing process.

When you're depressed you can talk about it with a friend you really trust, or an adult you really trust, such as a counselor, a parent, or a religious leader.

A safe, non judgmental and supportive person, professional or support group that you trust will support you and encourage you in your struggles. For example 7 Cups!

You can talk with your GP or a therapist. If you are in school a counselor might be able to help as well. And then of course there are the people here at 7cups!
