Hey guys, I am new here and I've had depression for some time now. However I often get stuck when I think about telling my family or friends about this, I don't know how they can take it seriously, any helpful advices? Thanks!

@crimsonDime5992 It can be hard to understand depression if you haven't been through it, so being specific helps, maybe not even using the word "depression."
Examples:
*I feel so tired all the time.
*I don't really look forward to anything anymore.
*It feels so hard to complete even the smallest tasks.
*I feel distracted a lot. It's hard to focus.
*I'm achy and want to sleep all day.
*I can't stop feeling sad.
