Hi everyone, just wondering when is best to tell people that you have a mental illness, in particular depression? i understand that its a subject that some people may find uncomfortable and it's not the easiest thing to explain in words unless you've gone through it yourself but when it best to tell your friends as well as someone you've met? i met someone recently and i really like them but i don't want to keep it a secret nor do i want to scare them away kind of thing? if you could tell me your experiences and any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks
