I'm pretty sure one of my flatmates knows about my depression etc. He's been in and out of my bedroom and I'm sure he's noticed the tablets sitting on the bedside table and the appointment cards for my psychiatrist etc.
Recently, over the past month or so, he's been "checking up" on me quite a lot, when we're alone he'll ask how I'm doing, if I've had a bad day, things like that. If I look a bit down he'll come and ask if I'm alright or give me a hug.
I don't know how open to be with him though. I used to tell one friend a lot and I think I scared her away a bit, I don't want to do that again. How honest should I be with him when he asks how I am? I usually just say I'm fine, even though I'm not......I just don't want to push him away by telling him too much and making him feel like he has to always look out for me.
