Told my sisters I had depression

Today, my sisters came to the town I live in to visit me. I hadn't seen them in about a month, this year we have seen each other about four times in total. Earlier this year, we decided to leave my parents house due to the hostile environment they had us in. We grew up in a domestic violence home, when I was younger my father constantly hit my mom and occasionally my sisters and I. This year, I was completely broken, I hit rock bottom. I didn't want to worry my sisters with my personal problems because they had their own problems to deal with, since I wasn't talking to them often, they thought I was ignoring them. I didn't want to tell them how severe my depression was because I was a shame of myself for not being stronger. Today, I decided to tell them, how bad my depression was, they were in shock, but at the same time they were very understanding. They had been worried about me this whole time but they didn't know what had been wrong with me. After, telling them about my depression and severity I felt free of the guilt I had inside of me. I was really happy they finally knew what I had been dealing with this past five months. They want to help me get better and I want them to be here for me too. I told them how empty I constantly feel and one of my biggest fears is driving people away because I have depression. The reason I didn't tell them earlier was due to the fear of driving them away.
