I share everything with my husband and am pretty much an open book, in general but when I was dealing with my mental health the most (back last Winter), I didn't go into details.
When I missed church or functions, we just told people I was really "sick." Which I was.. I just didn't explain "what kind of sick."
BUT after I felt better, I did share my story to my church and at a Women's Retreat. I just feel better having it out in the open. AND I was amazed at how many women came up for prayer becuase they were struggling with the SAME thing but were too afraid to tell anyone.
Sometimes, it's freeing to share. BUT sometimes you have to be careful who you open up to. If they will use it against you or make your life more miserable, be careful.
