I need help, but I'm really scared

So, I feel like I might be depressed and I have been feeling this way for a while and I've tried talking to my mum about it (No well on my behalf), and I've tried talking to my friends about it (But we are basically screwed up and it leads to nowhere). I really just need someone to talk to. I want to talk to someone to tell them how I feel without feeling guilty about talking about how I feel instead of talking to someone else, but I don't even know what I would say. I know I need to speak to someone, but I don't know what to say and every time I try and write something down, all the thoughts in my head just leave. I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say, and I feel so guilty about this. I don't want to be a burden to the people around me, I just want to feel normal again. I don't know what to do.

Hi Trashlord

Welcome to the forums and having the courage to create your own thread too 🙂

There are many super kind people on the forums that can be here for you. Ive had depression (and anxiety) for a few years and its a bad place to be in for sure.

There are no experts here that will judge you in any way. I am no expert either as everyone has a different form of depression and feeling the way they do.

I actually think you are amazing for writing what you feel. I remember feeling exactly the same way as you are now and its not a nice place to be in TrashLord

You are more than welcome to post as many times as you wish.

You are not alone here in any way

My Kind thoughts for you

Paul

Thank you.

I've been so afraid to talk, and this made me feel better. I know I still have a long way to go, but this helps me.

Again, thank you.

Hey Lord 🙂 I'm not calling you Trash cause nah depression's what makes us feel that way but we're not aye.

Welcome and as lovely Blond above said they're many lovely kind people here that don't judge, know pain and are here for you, to listen hopefully be able to give you some advice that may help and support.

Yeah I talk now as I've got older but know exactly what you mean about not being able to.

Do you know which is a very hard part with depression but can be a big help is any specific things that are pulling you down, cause I've found if I can find reasons, then from there can start working on how to work towards changing the situation.

Do you feel that seeing a counsellor or psychologist could be of benefit, they're great as well as here that you always have now with your thread, anytime go for it, we're listening & here to support 🙂 they too can be good to help try and work out what's causing the pain and help with coping methods.

Do you sleep much? I ask cause that interferred with brings on stess and we're at our weakest in those times, so much harder to be able to handle lifes lovelies.

Distraction can be useful in the hard times, do you have hobbies, sport, interests?

Good to see you felt some comfort talking here, a lot easier when writing and take your time and feel free to open up if & when you feel up to it. 🙂

Tc you're not alone here

Thank you.

I really appreciate the advice.

I'll try my best to get something out of it.

Again thank you.

You're very welcome Lord, anytime, will always come back here.
