I'm not new to pc but I'm new to this forum. I've never had emotion or feelings so i wouldn't of helped myself or others on here. However things changed drastically verrry quickly.

Other than my scars on my body my partner doesn't know anything about my struggles or mental health. I've been in an absolute long and dark depression lately. I feel like I need to say smthg. I need to explain. But I don't know how.

How's the right way to tell your partner for life that you struggle with mental ilness? How can it be explained to be understood? How can I say it so all parties can get over it. What do you say and what don't you say?

I would really appreciate all opinions and advice so I can try to do discuss this.
