go to a therapist
Wandering voices — answers no one has read yet
Another soul answered...
Say "I have depression." (You should say that over "I'm depressed" because that can just mean very sad while depression is a condition where you feel sad for a straight month or more. If you mean you feel really sad then figure out what's making you sad and say "____ is making me very sad." If you dont know why youre sad say "I'm really sad and i dont know why.") If people cant handle or understand that make a presentation that explains what it is. Other people have probably already made presentations about this so you can just copy one you like then add on how depression looks in your life. If you need more support than people just knowing, you should seek therapy and/or medication. I wish you the best.
