have you seen a therapist yet or you should take a class on how to manage your depression.

@SW-User I really wish I either could see a therapist, or take a decent class to help me manage it that I had time to take or complete.

@SW-User But, 1) I don’t have the money to afford an actual therapist, 2)I don’t want my parents to know of my depression because they’ll only make it worse, and 3) how would I find the time do talk to one? Also, I suppose I don’t want to burden them with such unimportant problems.

You should go to a medical school and they have a department of psychiatry and they will see you for free or read about cognitive behavioural therapy.

@SW-User Ha... Not sure I’d be able to go to such a place without my parents knowing about it, I don’t exactly have privileges to ride the bus alone much either...
