Oh sweetie, it breaks my heart, I wished that for a long time too. Somehow, I almost believed that if someone asked it would "cure" me. Sadly, in my experience, no-one asks. There is a reason for this, as most people don't suffer depression they just don't have a clue how you might be feeling. They don't ask because they have no idea what it is like. However, if you tell them, they'll be overwhelmed that you could feel so bad and so alone and they will want to help.

Zinco is right depression can be treated and eventually when the depression becomes more awful than the fear of reaching out you will find the strength to ask. Until then you have our support.
