My Friend Doesn't Know About My Depression - July 21st 2015, 05:35 AM

Hi, I'm not sure where to post this, but I'm giving it a go here. A couple years ago, I was beyond depressed and coped by cutting myself, ultimately ending up in a mental hospital on suicide watch. Another friend of mine was admitted a few months before I was, which I had known about. Recently, a totally different friend was telling me (for what she believed was news to me) about how that friend was in the mental hospital and how crazy she is and all sorts of other things. She's a great friend and never judge mental of me, but I'm concerned to tell her about my past. I don't want her to think that I'm some crazy, suicidal person too, especially since I'm in such a better place now. Should I tell her? I don't want her hearing it from someone else, but if happened years ago and really isn't relevant any more. By the way, I'm so sorry if this was triggering for anyone, I didn't know how to tag it so I'm so sorry if I've offended anybody.
