How can I tell my friends what I'm going through?

Choosing the right time and place, and the right words, to clearly and honestly express our feelings.

Its important to be open and honest to those that you trust and confide in; its okay to share some troubling issues and emotions with them; this is the process of relieving oneself and healing, dont be shameful or frightened; just take it easy, sit them down or call them up, and let them know that you need to get some things off your chest, and that their attention and consideration is greatly valued and appreciated. Then take it from there, express all that needs to be expressed; be confident and truthful with yourself and them. Take it step by step, go at your own pace; your friend will be there to support you.

First of all, one must gain their friends' trust in order to share their struggles with them. This is a process that will probably take quite some time, but it is a vital element for a true friendship. After you have no doubts with your friends, you will probably find it easy to tell them anything. If you still find it hard to share your struggles with them, you can start a conversation stating that you want to talk to them about something serious. When the conversation begins, you could tell your friend that you have some struggles that you want to talk about. They will be there for you. You have nothing to fear. If they've proved that they are trustworthy, you can be certain about their loyalty and love.

By finding a way you feel comfortable with, it can be through text/call, writing it down or talking, or any other way you could think off, finding a way your comfortable with talking makes it easier to tell people how you feel or what's going on for you.

If you trust your friends, then you will know who you can open up to and how to open up. Once you start opening up the trust starts to build between you and your friends.

Letting people into our inner-most struggles can be one of the most difficult things to do. I know this first hand, but in my experience the easiest way to do it is to just do it. Go to lunch or invite them over, somewhere where you feel safe and comfortable, and just let them know that you have something your dealing with that you'd really like them to know about. It can be scary, but if they are your friends they will be there for you, and it will all be ok :) If you ever need practice telling someone something you have never said before chatting with one of our listeners here is an awesome idea to help you have a practice run if you think that would be helpful!

Perhaps take a few moments to write down your thoughts, and prepare something beforehand. Organizing your ideas in the way may make it a little easier for you to express yourself to others.

Sit them down and give it to them slow explain everything clearly and carefully so they understand what you saying and ask for support about whats bothering you.

If talking is too hard, I try passing a note to them. And if that's too hard as well, I try texting them. If that doesn't work, I keep silent and hope that my friends realise something is wrong and they make the first move.

Timing. Make sure you choose a time to speak with loved ones when they are not battling their own issues or distracted by the demands of daily life. Perhaps reach out and explain that you want to talk to them about something that are happening in your life. Request a time to speak with them without distractions. Trust that you are loved. If your friends don't respond with love and support when you need them, you may be better off seeking new more supportive friendships.
