Honestly, one of the more effective ways of dealing and overcoming depression is simply talking to someone about it. In the past, I constantly made the mistake of bottling up all of my problems since I didn't want to bother anyone else with them. Talking is a great way of relieving the stress, I didn't want for someone to resolve my problems for me, but just listen to what I had to say.

Very well said.

In my view, just having someone around to listen and respect your emotions, can make the world of difference.
