I suggest:

Get something off your chest: to tell someone about something that has been worrying you or making you feel guilty for a long time. (Cambridge English dictionary)

Example: I had spent two months worrying about it and I was glad to get it off my chest.

You could also say:
to unburden yourself of something:
to relieve one's mind or oneself of a worry or trouble by telling someone about it. (Collins English dictionary)

Example: Many came to unburden themselves of emotional problems.
