LeAnn Rimes is opening up about her battle with depression and anxiety, which is something she’s been dealing with since she was a teen. Things got particularly bad in 2012, which resulted in her checking into a mental health facility, and she admits it was hard on her marriage to Eddie Cibrian.
“At one point, there was such a weight on my marriage,” Rimes tells People. “Eddie and my friends and those close to me experienced pain through my eyes. They weren’t exempt from it." LeAnn says before seeking treatment her depression was “very isolating,” noting, “I had a lot of co-dependency. My first night in treatment was the first night I’d ever been alone. There was a lot of healing to do."
But she says all the work she’s done on herself has been beneficial to her marriage. “By being able to care for my own body and not expecting Eddie to do it for me, we’ve been able to become better partners,” she offers. “Eddie is a rock. And we’re not so enmeshed. We can build our own selves up and I think that's so important. We’re stronger than ever.”
