Hi, I'm new here. I think I have depression, but I haven't really told anyone. My boyfriend is the closest connection I have, someone who I trust very much, someone who I always look to for help and advice. But I can't bring myself to admit to him all of my feelings in regards to feeling depressed. I don't even know if it would be a good thing for our relationship to tell him that. I feel like he's done so much for me that I don't want to further burden him with all my problems. He says he's willing to listen, but I don't know if just listening is helpful. I have given him hints before, like telling him that I feel sad all the time. I even once told him that I think I might have depression, but I have never revealed everything at once, because I'm not sure he would take it well. He is a person who loves life and doesn't let negativity drown him. I am the opposite. I feel like he will judge me and hate my attitude instead. But I need someone to talk to... I think it's important to be completely truthful and open in a relationship, but I'm hesitant to open myself completely. I want him to know my struggles, yet I don't want him to feel burdened. What should I do.
