Question: Could your making the decision at this moment have to do with your sibling maybe seeing your therapist, feelings about recording...I agree with Pennester. If you don't want to share therapist it's okay to state that. If you need to record surreptitiously with the idea of hoping to come clean one day, then record. You are not hurting anyone. Six months can be a drop in the bucket if you've dealt with depression and other unsolved issues. These are my opinions only, ultimately the decision is yours. At least sleep on it for a few days.
