I’ve been afraid to share this with you.

I’ve been carrying around a secret that is weighing heavily on my heart. I know that I should have been open with you from the beginning, but fear held me back. I’m sorry for not being honest sooner.

The truth is, I have been struggling with my mental health for quite some time now. I have been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and sometimes even hopeless. I didn’t want to burden you with my problems, so I kept them to myself.

I realize now that keeping this hidden from you was a mistake. I should have reached out for help and support, but I let my fear get the best of me. I hope you can forgive me for not being open with you sooner.

I am finally seeing a therapist and taking steps towards healing, but I wanted you to know the truth. I need your understanding and love now more than ever.
