One is to be honest and tell your bandmates how you feel about continuing with them. While ideals such as honesty are certainly lofty, they are are tricky because we never get to be honest in a vacuum. there are always implications and consequences. So its quite possible that your bandmates may not see eye to eye with you on this. The second and less painful, also somewhat treacherous, would be to tell your bandmates you are taking a break from music for a while.
