Mental Health

It depends on how far we go in our talks. If I feel like bawling, I don't want to talk about it with anyone.

Recently I had a pretty open talk about mental health issues with someone I met an hour prior. Wild but refreshing.

its ok to share to someone especially when they understand you ☺️

I do because I have PTSD and understand without help how volatile it made me. I lost a son and friends to suicide that did not share their trauma with anyone.

So, Heck, yeah, I will and am ready at any point in the day or night to do so.

Depends on the friend. Usually I'm more than okay with discussing things about mental health with friends.

I've had a couple very ill friends who struggled with bi-polar disorder where eventually I needed to limit/end our engagements because they became abusive.

Both opted to not continue actively seeking therapy and discontinued taking their much needed medication.

With the second friend, based on my past friend experience I had expressed clearly I needed them on meds and in therapy if they were to continue being in my life. Both didn't feel they needed either and I couldn't/wouldn't let them continue to be verbally abusive to me.

Its really good when there is that option.

I have a friend i feel comfortable sharing with to a certain point but its just hard for me in general to open up like that. Im afraid of looking like a defective person to people i like.

If the fellow finds the friend a caring a compassionate, then he/ she might open up and start talking on his/ her striving ssue. The confidence in the other person matters it.

I have a few I’m comfortable sharing some things with because we have been through life together. But, only my therapist gets the horror of it all.

Only a few tbough. Not most

It’s definitely a spontaneous feeling … not a planned thing

Passion is usually involved when I share how I feel and some people can’t handle that who are built for black n white

When I’m surrounded with empathetic people I truly feel at home and we all share a common ground re feelings so we share openly and we’re there for one another openly

It all depends on personality and character

I’m very wise to it now so opening up for me depends on who is in the room

Lots of nice messages xx
