Well, I have a few thoughts on this. I suppose there is a difference between letting people know that you have depression and talking to them as a support when you are depressed. I don't talk to many about how I feel when I'm in my depression, I have several who I can talk to about that when I am struggling (as well as using this sight and therapy). However, I have found it very freeing to let people in my life know that I deal with depression. I don't necessarily go into a lot of detail with them, but knowing that people know kind of takes away some of the power the depression has over me. Not sure if you relate or this makes sense, but just thought I'd share.
