How and when to share your struggles
Depression Support / by JEvelyn
Last post
 September 7th, 2018
...See more I feel like being open and honest about my struggles with depression really helps me, especially when I feel like I'm falling into one again. If I can tell someone, "I have been battling depression for 10 years, and I have a history of cutting" then I feel like I have a little more control over it and feel less inclined to self-harm. But how do you know who you can talk to? My mom, for example, is a strong believer that people use mental illnesses to justify bad behavior. I'm in a new romantic relationship and am scared to talk to him about my struggles because he might feel the same way as my mom. So how and when do you decide to tell people?
