Having depression is not an excuse. It's simply a reality that you can neither deny nor escape.

Perhaps your not wanting to mention it is because of the stereotype that depression is a weakness and is unmanly... and you are neither weak nor unmanly and you don't want her to think that you are...?

Can you say why you have a hard time telling her about it?
