Depression
I've been having a lot of depression lately and have been starting to wear all black. I want to tell someone but I don't know how.
So here are my questions:
1.) How do I tell someone?
2.) How do I get rid of my depression?
3.) Who do I tell

You only tell someone if you want to.
There is help! I went to the health clinic that specialized in this. Then there was an hour in the hospital that took care of this (Mental Health - I know everyone hates that word being associated with this. I sure did. I was depressed, not crazy). From there I got what was called crisis counselling.
I didn't think that I could tell a "counsellor" how I felt. I mean, I couldn't even tell anyone for 15 years! But she knew this and there were just different questions that helped you to just talk and start off somewhere.
Eventually everything was let out, I got referred to a psychiatrist for the last important bits that were non-related to counselling. And in a year I was fine again.
I never thought that I could feel better from my depression but I did. Simply because one day I was at the last of my limits and decided to reach out before using suicide as a last resort.
I did not tell anyone about it other than my best friend and became the biggest liar ever; lying to my parents about where I was going because I didn't want them to know that I was going to see my psychiatrist. They are old fashioned and will never understand that this really is a common thing for our times and they are not for "crazy people".
Please seek help and don't worry of contacting me if you need more information. My only regret is that I took so long to get help. I missed so many years of my life.
