Does anyone know how to help depression?

Do what feels right to you. Be honest. Do not cause harm to yourself. BE HONEST. Honesty is so so important when it comes to these things. Honesty can save your life. Remember that you are strong and you can get through this. It can take years to figure out the root to the depression or how to cope with it, but that time is worth it. Personally, it took me three years to figure out how to cope and help myself, and I still struggle with it. You cannot fight this battle alone. Do See More▼ not be afraid to ask for help. Put yourself first(in a manner of do things that make you happy). Speaking with a therapist for the first time can be nerve wracking, but it’s worth it if you’re open and honest.

i am depressed but i cover it with some punny puns and a smile but my friends can tell when i'm not actually happy...
