She can't seem to drop the subject!

Leann Rimes recently opened up to Us Weekly about her agony following news that her extramarital affair with now-husband Eddie Cibrian had gone public.

After making the decision to seek treatment for emotional issues in August 2012, the singer is now in a better place and has learned how to cope with her conflicted feelings.

"I went in and took care of myself because I was stressed, I was depressed and anxious, and I didn't know how to process everything. Going away was something I really needed to do," she tells the mag.

The "Spitfire" crooner was feeling intense shame over stealing a married man, but didn't fully realize her feelings about the situation until she began writing her new album.

"I was feeling all these crazy emotions and feeling terrible about myself and was disgusted by myself and thought I was pathetic," she adds.

These days, Miss Rimes has never been happier and can look at the hard times as a learning experience.

"I'm the strongest I've ever been. I'm the most honest with myself that I've ever been, I'm the most secure I've ever been about myself and my family, and I'm the most confident I've been in a really long time," she gushes.

All's well that ends well we guess!
