I have many friends that i thought i could always count on. Every time i try to tell them about my depression, they just say things like "just be happy" or "you just want attention so shut up!" I just decide to give up, put a smile on my face and go on with my friends, but it just gets worse because some of them bully me. There are pretty much no other people to talk to, and i dont want to be alone. What should i do so next year is better. Thanks
Why won't my friends help me with my depression?

Number one is your friends should NEVER treat you like this! If they are then they are no friend to you. First find people that care such as family or family friends. Next, you really need to talk to your family about seeing a therapist. Therapist are really good about helping where others can't. I've told multiple people it's best to get someone's opinion that knows more on the subject! Best Wishes and goodluck! Don't forget you are not alone:)
People who have never been depressed do not understand this desease. years ago I knew a person that was depressed because she was lonely and had no friends. I lived in a house with several other people and because I was never alone I was not depressed. I could not understand why that person was depressed I was not depressed so how could she. Well I never had to spend long periods of time without any human contact. I never been depressed so I could not figure out why someone else would be. I did not have the life experience at the time and thus did not understand the desease. It is hard to understand things unless you have had the experience. Then you know what it like. Loneliness causes depression. Other things cause depression. You did not say what is causing your depression. Whether something went wrong in your life or you have low serotonin. There is a chemical called serotonin that controls mood. If your brain produces a lot of it you feel good it your brain does not produce a lot if it you feel lousy. Alcohol makes you feel good by causing your brain to produce more serotonin. Anyway it is time to get rid of these insensitive people and get some new friends some true friends.
