being honest is always the best answer. Also saying it at a right time will help so he doesn't start worrying about you, as if you said it unexpectedly it might shock him and scare him. Make it very clear that you aren't anymore and specify on how you're feeling mentally now, as well as how you were feeling when you felt that way. Also! Say what helped you to get out of that state so he knows that it's taken care of! depression is really hard to deal with, but being honest about how you feel with your loved ones is a key to a strong relationship. I think even revealing your struggles often connects people further. The national suicide hotline is 800-273-8255 if you ever need it! best wishes

Hello! I understand how hard it is going to be to tell him. First, tell him you have to tell him something important and to not interrupt. Give him background knowledge if needed. I had to do this about two years ago with my current boyfriend. Luckily, he did not judge but instead felt sad since he was not there in my life to help me. He is still concerned that I may have those thoughts and ensures me that he is there for me. I hope this helps you in telling him and I wish you the best of luck.
