I can understand that. When I started opening up to my wife I was on the verge of an anxiety attack and I don't normally have problems with anxiety. It was really hard.

Its really hard on her and she often feels helpless. I fear sometimes I make her depressed. The bright side is she knows and doesn't feel like it is her fault or a problem with her.

You know your life best and if you feel like not opening up more to him then it is probably the right thing to do.

The most helpful thing i've found is a friend that struggles with the same thing. She had some stuff happen in her life and isn't in a place to help me. We still talk but avoid anything about mental illness. I feel alone dealing with it.
