Friendship is a crucial element in protecting our mental health. Our friends can keep us grounded, help us get things in perspective, and help us manage the problems that life throws at us.
The best thing my friend did for me was that they just accepted me as I was."
"They kept coming to see me even though I didn't seem to want them and they made me laugh."
If we’re experiencing a mental health problem, our instinct might be to hide away and avoid our friends. But friendships can play a key role in helping us live with or recover from a mental health problem and overcome the isolation that often comes with it. We can end up with the strongest relationships with the people who’ve supported us through hard times.
If you have a mental health problem, you may feel ashamed of 'admitting' to it. You may feel that you’re bothering or upsetting your friend, fear being labelled, or worry about how your friendship might change.You don't have to tell your friends - and you certainly don't have to tell everyone. Think about who you might feel comfortable talking to. It might help to write a list of the pros and cons of telling or not telling people about your problem.Tough as it can be, talking to close friends can be important for both of you. 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. 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.
