You are not alone. So many people live with depression. If you don't want to tell anybody you know, tell someone you don't know - get some counselling. I had depression for years and stupidly felt i was weak for seeking help - so suffered alone for many years. Eventually I had a breakdown, and had to get help. It was the best thing I ever did. Not only does talking about things take a weight of your shoulders, it helps to see things from a different perspective. Also I had to go to three counsellors before I found one that I felt comfortable with - so don't give up at the first hurdle if the first one is no good.

I was depressed for a few years before I told anyone. I often wish I had spoken sooner and not waited until I wanted to kill myself. You should definately try to get some help. Don't give up if the person you tell doesn't end up helping, keep pushing I know there is someone out there that can help you. I went to a therapist for several months and was put on meds and only became more depressed. After a brief stay in the hospital I was put on new meds and now live a fairly stable life. What I'm trying to say is: don't give up, there is good help out there, sometimes it's just hard to find!
