I was at dinner with a friend and dinner happens to be the time I take medication. She asked what I was taking. I could've lied, but I respect our friendship too much, so I told her it was lexapro, assuming she wouldn't know what the was. She didn't, but her mom asked, "Isn't that an anti-depressant?"
So now she knows. I was trying to work up the courage to tell her, but it never fit in my conversation. I guess this worked out okay in the end. |

How did the rest of the evening go? Did it feel strained?
Most people I've shared with have been awesome and supportive. Some even come out with a depression story themselves. |

The rest of the evening went okay, but we didn't have a real talk about it then because I didn't want to do it in front of her parents. She seemed really worried about me though.

The same thing happened to me a few years back with my uncle and his girlfriend - his girlfriend was the one who knew what fluoxetine was.
It was a bit awkward to start with but later my uncle asked me a few questions and things got less uncomfortable when I explained a bit. He was worried to begin with but after talking a bit he went back to his joke-y self. I think that it was more the unknowns that bothered him. I don't think she will be focused on how she found out - seeming that worried about you, she will probably just want to be sure your ok. It will probably make your friendship stronger if anything  Good luck

I still haven't had the nerve to tell too many people about my taking meds.
