“I hope that by sharing my own struggles, I can help in some small way to combat the stigma around it and contribute to a more open conversation."

Given your political position I would hope you can go further than just “telling YOUR story” as you are in the privileged position that you can afford to take a break for a few weeks without it being financially crippling or the tipping point for much worse. Many of your lower paid constituents that you serve, who can be working in much more demanding roles, would not have that option.
