Depression Understood Forums

I've never been open about my depression before. I guess you could say that I've been scared to tell other people that I am depressed. Who would listen to the kid who hurts himself and not think he's a weirdo. I'm hoping to find some people to connect with and i like to try and help other people with whatever i can. Oddly enough my depression as far as i know has no known cause though i have never seen a professional about it due to fear. I hope to get to know you all well and wish everyone well.
Sorry about the weird writing style, i tend to type as things come to mind and i can be quite scatter brained.

Hey RyanStark,
I understand how you feel. I haven't told anyone that I've been feeling like this for a long time. I've been in the same position as you where self harm is involved. I'm hoping this forum helps with how I feel and I hope it helps you too. I'm new here too and just looking to connect with some people.
