Hi there!

First off; welcome to TeenHelp! I'm Ellie and I'd be happy to hear you out.

I'm really glad you decided to reach out. That's a big step. Is it okay if I ask why you're feeling depressed? I'm wondering if anything in particular caused you to begin feeling depressed, or if it just started impacting you. It's different for different people. Sometimes a life event(s) cause it, and sometimes it comes out of the blue. Regardless, I'd be happy to listen to anything you have to say. You're welcome to talk about anything on your mind.

There's other forms of seeking advice apart the support forums if you're feeling uncomfortable speaking about certain things on this thread. There's HelpLINK, which is a private section where HelpLINK Mentors respond to it; then there's Live Help which is where you can talk to a Live Help Mentor one-on-one. You can only call when you see that it's online, though.

The chat-room is a nice place to talk with others and potentially seek support/advice as well, but it's not solely focused on advice and more focused on simply being a general chat-room. There's support groups you may be interested in too since it's a good way to additionally find others who are going through the same thing(s) you are.

Additionally, the blogs section is quite helpful for writing out your thoughts and feelings - similar to journaling except others can read and may comment offering support. It can be a way to be heard and express yourself at the same time.

There are many resources here on TeenHelp and you are more than welcome to use as many as you'd like, okay? And of course, you can message any of us. You can send me a PM if you would like to talk privately. I'd be happy to listen and try to help if I can. I don't mind listening one bit, so don't hesitate if you need someone to talk to, alright? You're definitely not alone and have many people here who'll welcome you and listen anytime you need. In the meantime, stay safe please!
