A close friend that you trust, a family member who you know can help you or someone that you feel free and comfortable talking to about it.

You can talk to people who you feel close to, people who you trust. If you don't have anyone you feel comfortable talking to you can always talk to a professional that has experience in this area such as counselors, mentors, a coach, anyone who has gone though this and made it out.

I guess that I talk about it to a close friend of mine or someone who I can trust.....maybe someone anonymous in order to not talk about it anymore too.

I have Depression and Social Anxiety. I found it extremely difficulty to talk about my feelings and to seek help. It took me 3 months of constantly trying to persuade myself to find help. First, I found this site, 7cups, and I contacted some listeners who were extremely supportive and I finally managed to contact my GP. Now I am feeling much better with treatment.

there is a any number of people to talk to including a trusted friend, parent, doctor, guidance councilor, or even someone on 7cups who are always willing to help.

Well a Doctor,Mental health professional or perhaps a counselor or maybe even someone you trust such as family or friends.

I think this is a quite personal question but it always ends to one "the person you trust". In some cases this is the best friend, your parents or a professional.

Its important to talk to someone you can trust. You've found a good starting point by coming to 7Cups for support. I would suggest a close friend, family member or teacher. Stay strong and know there are lots of wonderful people here to support you as well!

Hello dear, you can talk to Listeners who "specialize" with talking about depression. You can speak with them, or join the Depression group chat to speak with others feeling the same way. :)

talk to anyone you feel comfortable to talk to. Either a close friend or family member, sometimes it also helps to talk to someone from outside your social network, someone who is not close to you where you don't have to fear to be judged.

Talk to the peeps who understand you the most or the people who are the closest to you as well. But if you dont have any of those peeps then talk to us listeners. We are here to help.

Originally, the best place to start is those who you feel most comfortable talking to about it. Be that friends, parents, us here at 7 cups. Really it is better to talk about it to someone than no-one.

Anyone. Talking is a great first step, maybe start with friends and family as they are the people that care about you the most and want you to be happy. If you feel that you cant talk to them, try talking to a listener on 7 cups or maybe your doctor.

Anyone that you feel comfortable with at all, a pet, a friend, family member, your GP, the school counsellor etc, Anyone you can trust is a perfect option to talk to about depression and if you ever feel like you have no one then send me a message and I'll talk to you about it because I know exactly how horrible suffering from it is.

I would actually write it down and express it in my music! It was easier to tell things in my art then speak about them.

I usually talk to my friend, or a listener depending on the problem I am having. I like to keep some things anonymous so I connect to a listener or go to a group discussion for my issues.

To talk about a subject that is personal, one need to find a person who they think will not judge them or someone who will listen wholeheartedly. It's a very sensitive matter and would want someone who will try to understand what one is going through.

I used to talk to my best friend, she was the only one who knew about my depression since I didn't really like socializing or anything. But I recommend that you talk to someone you're very close with, someone who knows you well, and who won't judge you, and will just listen to what you have to say before they say anything or tell other people,

Anyone you feel you can trust. Someone who loves you and will hear you out, and if you don't have anyone in your life that will listen you can always come on here and we will be happy to help! If it gets too overwhelming I would recommend seeing a therapist.

It's different for everyone. Most people talk to a therapist but some talk to their parents, friends, a trusted teacher , boyfriend/girlfriend, other family members.

You can talk to anyone who you feel comfortable with. There are many great listeners here on 7cups, you can speak with your parents and maybe try to see a professional therapist, or even just talking to close friends you trust.

Someone you respect and who has experience with the issue. It feels good to vent to friends, but speaking with a professional is the best way to help yourself.

I think you should talk to someone who you are close and comfortable to , it can be a family member, a friend , a teacher or anyone whom you think will understand. You can then seek professional help therapists or counselors who can help you understand your condition better.

If you think you have depression you need to talk to a trusted adult and that might be your parents or your doctor or therapist. Please talk to someone.

I talk to people I trust about my depression or I go on 7 cups and talk to a listener! I've realized over the years of having depression that it helps to talk to someone who understands where you're coming from!
