Dear Freckles,
Depression is serious. The first thing you should do is admit to the seriousness of your depression. Also admit to its nature: when speaking to it, please address it properly as "Numerical Depression."
Now that you have addressed Numerical Depression, you need to enter into some light conversation. Learn about Numerical Depression's background and hobbies. What music does it like? Does it read books? Who are its favorite authors? Ask pleasant questions about its family.
Now Numerical Depression should ask some questions about you. Try to seem open and friendly. Say enough to keep the conversation going. Mention topics that Numerical Depression indicates it might be interested in.
But, you say, what if Numerical Depression doesn't like me? Well, that happens. Just remember that you are a very special person, no matter what Numerical Depression thinks. If it leaves in a huff, you should go to bed and eat chocolate. That usually helps.
Sincerely,
Glen
