      @aleboo i feel you, it can be hard for me to talk to anyone on my bad days. so far i've basically just hinted that i'm depressed... but that is just the tip of the iceberg. a big concern is that he's just not going to understand what it is and i'm not going to be able to properly explain it.

      i am in the exact same position! like do i warn him in advance or do i wait until my symptoms show up and i have to explain myself? and how do you bring that up? i don't want to freak him out, and i don't think he really knows much about mental illness. i guess the important thing to remember is if we tell them and they can't handle it, we're probably better off anyway.
