I'm on the college track and field team so I probably have to tell my event coach.  Also because we have to keep on file the medications that we take.  Sometimes the NCAA does random drug testing and if I get picked to be tested and something comes up that I don't have listed on my medical record before hand; I could get suspended.  Honestly, I probably wouldn't tell the other members of my event group.  They're all my friends; were just not that close of friends.  We only hang out together at practice and meets. I don't feel they need to know.

What about my roommates? We're all close friends and decided to live together; not a random campus housing selection.  It's not like I'm a threat to any of them and they have no idea I have it—I'm a good actress.  The reason I wonder why is because I heard this other girl talking about how she found out her roommate was clinically depressed.  The depressed girl didn't tell her roommates and for some reason the other roommates were mad for not being informed.  

Really, the only people I would feel obligated to tell are my close group of friends back home that I've known since middle school.  They are my best friends.  Not because I feel I need to share every detail of my life with them; but rather that they'd want to know out of concern.  If one of them was suffering from depression, I would want to know because I care about them and would want to help in any way I could.  I know this sounds bad and I can't help it, but sometimes I will avoid them (such as their phone calls, even not answering the door) if I don't want to hang out with them.  It's not like I don't want to be around them; there are just times when I cannot be out and around people.  If they knew I had these problems, this would explain things for them.  

I tend to keep my person issues to myself, but after hearing people say they would want a depressed person to tell them what's going on; I'm not sure if this is something that I need to keep to myself. What do you think, do I need to tell the people closest to me or is this something that I can keep to myself? I for the most part am dealing with females if that makes any difference. Thanks.
