How can I convince a friend that I'm not depressed?

I have a friend who is worried about my depression and I don’t want her to worry like that!! It makes me feel so guilty! And if it gets back to my parents they’ll worry too!! I don’t want people to see me like this. How can I convince her I’m ok

Answer #1

Yeah, but not telling her the truth will probably just stress her out even more. If you really want to help your friend, you’ll help yourself… If she sees you getting help and support from other places, she wont have to worry about you…

Answer #2

You can’t. She’s your friend and she cares. If you lie to her, she might pretend to believe you but she will always know deep down that it’s not true. Why not ask her to help you get over this depression instead of pretending it doesn’t exist? I’m sure she has some ideas that could help and it’s always nice to have a friend.
