You could phone or write to your friend if it’s easier than talking to them face to face. you’re doing an activity together, such as going for a walk, or just sitting down for a chat.you’re on your own or among other people, for instance in a pub or cafe.the place is quiet or noisy, indoors or outside.Choose a time and a place where you will both feel comfortable. You may want to practise your opening sentence or you may want to play it by ear. "I wanted my friends to know so they.would cut me some slack if I behaved oddly." How do I tell my friend?
It may also make clear why you’re behaving in a particular way or why you don't want to go out or talk to them much. Even if you don't talk about it again, having the issue out in the open means that you don't have to worry about mentioning your mental health problem by accident or 'explain away' medication or appointments. Tough as it can be, talking to close friends can be important for both of you. It might help to write a list of the pros and cons of telling or not telling people about your problem. Think about who you might feel comfortable talking to. You don't have to tell your friends - and you certainly don't have to tell everyone. You may feel that you’re bothering or upsetting your friend, fear being labelled, or worry about how your friendship might change. If you have a mental health problem, you may feel ashamed of 'admitting' to it.
