I think I have depression. I dont want to talk to my parents or doctor. I have talked to my close mates and they said I should. My friends dads and expert on stuff like this so she is going to ask. Should I talk to them??> What should I do

The only person that can diagnoise you is a proffesional, so you really have to speak to a doctor and you parents if you want to.

in the end no one can tell you what to do but its reccomened that you do go.

I'm in the same boat as you right now.
Except that it's generally eased up a bit, so now I'm even more unsure of if I want to talk to someone professional. What if it was all in my head?

I think there's no harm in an least talking to your friend's dad, if he really is an expert. If he thinks you should go to a doctor, I'd say go ahead, but that is your decision to make. Good luck :)

see what happens, if you feel comfortable talking to a pro then do it :0
it can only help you
also, keep talking to your friends
coz even when im in the blacjest of moods i cant stay that way for long with them
and talking about things really does ease the weight of the problem

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling bad at the moment. I can understand how stressful it might be to talk to your parents or your doctor but they are probably the best people to talk to. It's often more stressful thinking about what might happen that actually going ahead and talking to someone. Can you tell us more about why you don't want to talk to your parents or your doctor? It sounds like your friends are concerned about you and care about you a lot, would you feel better if one of them was with you if you decided to talk to someone about how you are feeling?

Whatever you decide, I hope that things go well for you. Please get in touch any time. xxx

I suppose that would be the ideal choice. Since he is a professional. Even if it's not a diagnoses in the professional sense, it's some insight none the less.
