I would just tell them straight out and be honest about it.I think telling them would help them understand better.I would ask if they had any questions and answer them for them too.

Before you do tell them, ask yourself if you're safe with them knowing your feelings. I know that they're dating you, but there are things you can't always tell them. If you feel like your answer is yes, try not to say it in obvious words, but to hint to it. That eases anxiety for when you do talk to them about it.

Make sure you're in a comfortable surrounding. You need to feel safe and secure. And sit down with eachother and talk. Start off with your problem and explain how it makes you feel.

It is the right thing to tell him where you are at. If you have depression then tell him. Simply explain where you are at but you must be doing something about your depression and recover. Hopefully he is a good person and is supportive.

First you need to be completely honest with your boyfriend or girlfriend. You need to open your heart and tell them everything that push you in depression.

Depression is a difficult 'feeling' to have. it's alot easier to not tell people that you are unhappy just because telling them may make them unhappy too. The sooner you tell someone the quicker your recovery can be.

Explain the symptoms - they've probably already seen them - and what you're doing to try and change those things about you. Someone who is your mate will be very interested.

Make sure to explain to them how you've been feeling first; let them know it is not their fault. Then, explain to them what depression is, make sure they understand the biological aspect of depression; it is not something you can control.

Invite them to your home, or somewhere you feel comfortable. If you can, try and tell them slowly with words and make sure to reassure them it's completely not their fault. If you struggle using words, write it all down on paper, and get them to read it, the first step to feeling better is getting help. They will appreciate the fact that you told them
