Irish Catholic, so I know where you're coming from. Just start with something basic. Like, "I've been feeling depressed for *such and such an amount of time*, and I don't really know how to deal with it." You don't have to unload your life story all at once, just start a dialogue that actually makes it explicit that something is up. Enough so that they have something to respond to. More in-depth discussions will likely happen with time.
