How do I deal with my depression?

Hun, if youre cutting yourself and you have all these symptoms you know its depression. I hate it when people think of this as just hormones or a phase, or they think ur being selfish cos you have what they think is a perfect life. Only you know how this is affecting you,, and only you feel this way daily NOT THEM. What can you do? talk to someone else you can trust, even your DR can help you out on how to deal with this. If people are not there to listen, and find you dead one morning they would feel like complete IDIOTs and would never forgive themselves. But because you are on this forum, I can see that you want your life back, so take it back and so what you have to do, bc I know deep down you know there is help, we are all here to help
