Ok, I finally did it. Almost a month later.. I thought I would be able to do it sooner, but it was so hard. Lucky for me, I really didn't have to bring it up. She asked. It was really ironic, and it happened online. There was a friend of mine, and a really good friend of hers, who she suspected of being depressed. We were chatting over Gmail when she started asking me questions about depression, and I, with all of my research trying to figure out if I had clinical depression, happened to be an expert. She asked how I knew all of this stuff, but then two seconds later, she said, "Are you depressed? Because you can tell me if you are." I timidly answered, "I think so." From that point on, I told her about pretty much everything, and she responded by saying, "You're my best friend, and I've always got your back." From that point on, it felt like a huge weight was taken off of my shoulders. I knew I really coud trust her.
