how do I tell someone I am depressed?!
Question: How do I tell someone I am depressed?
I've lost old freinds from primary and now on facebook I see they have a whole life that doesn't include me in it. Parties, getting drunk etc.
Anyway I think I'm depressed since I seem to always cry and feel ashameda at myself for this crap life.
How do I tell someone?

Hannah, consider joining a club on your campus. I found that joining my college's chapter of Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship was a great move - I made a lot of friends that I still keep in touch with to this day. Your college might have IVCF, or maybe another group like it, say Campus Crusade for Christ, but the idea is the same - join them and after some time, you can make friends. Or join another club that shares your interests. You will find that your life is NOT "crap". If you are still depressed after a week or two, then please see a doctor - there are many things medical doctors can do to help you. In the meantime, please turn to Psalm 34:18 in your Bible - I find it to be a very encouraging verse. Peace and a hug to you, Hannah.
When you next see the person you want to tell, look sad/hurt. When they ask you whats wrong, say "Nothing, i guess. Just a little depressed." Then if they're a decent friend they should enquire as to whats wrong.
