Depression

My depression has been hard today and I’m feeling low mainly because my dog died  
I have been keeping myself busy doing video chats and phone calls but get worried in  case I cry on these?

    Hey @Past User

    Really sorry to hear your dog died, that must be a lot of hurt :( would you like to talk a bit about your dog on here? Like what was his/her name, and what did you love about them? :) 

    Great to hear you've been keeping yourself busy and that you're self aware of all of this. Still doesn't stop us feeling emotional when something like this happens - and it can feed the depression as well. Have you spoken to any family or friends close to you about how you've been feeling?
