My Deppresion

I think I have depression because whenever I feel sad I feel like I should lock it down so no-one would think that I am a weakling.
I need someone I could talk to. Someone who would be my friend. Someone who.... understands

no one will think you're a weakling, please reach out before it's too late
we're always here if you need/want someone to talk too, have you thought about telling anyone else you may have depression? reaching out is a brave step and you've started it by talking on here
It sounds like things haven't been easy for you recently, as @Past User said we would never think you were weak, in fact i'd say you are pretty strong for taking the first step in reaching out here.
Have you been able to talk to anyone else about how you are feeling? Sometimes, it can be helpful to share with someone like a GP as they can help to provide you with support and can refer you to other support if needed. Although only when you are ready to!
It's easy to feel alone, but you definitely aren't alone in the way you are feeling and there is hope.
