LeAnn Rimes checked herself into a treatment facility for anxiety and depression at the start of her 30s

She told FOX News: "At first I didn’t want to face my pain because I thought I would get lost in it. But I didn’t. People are so ashamed to talk about it and ask for help. But taking away the shame is so important. I had so much underlying grief, everything accumulated and I had to give in."

Meanwhile, LeAnn previously insisted she doesn't let the "little things" bother her anymore.

The 35-year-old singer buried the hatchet with her long-time enemy Brandi Glanville earlier this year after they fell out in 2009 when it emerged that the 'Can't Fight the Moonlight' hitmaker had been having an affair with her husband Eddie Cibrian. And, although LeAnn has admitted it can be tough at times to get along, they do it for the children Jake and Mason - who Eddie has with Brandi - and they try to brush off the little blips they have along the way so that they're just spreading "love."

She said: "The key to doing it right? A lot of grace. A lot of not taking things personally. The kids are the most important thing and they know the love is there and like any blended family everybody sees, even though you don't think the kids see, everybody sees the ups and down.

"They know everyone loves them, they know everyone is committed and we're always there for them. As long as us adults can act like adults which seems to be an issue sometimes.I know I can speak for myself and I can speak for Eddie, but little things don't bother us any more."
