It sounds like you are scared of letting anyone know of your circumstances. You should speak to a person that you trust so they can assit you in finding the appropriate help. You should know that being abused in any way is not okay and you are allowed to get help. You should also try and speak to somebody about the depression you are experiencing. It may help to call your national abuse line for more help and advice from a professional. We as listeners are not able to give you specific advice but can offer emotional support for you.
