The reality TV personality posted on his Instagram Story Tuesday to lay it all out for fans, first thanking them for their outreach and concern ... and then getting raw by noting he deals with "depression, bipolar and anxiety in silence" every day. Ronnie says he takes prescription medication to help manage his symptoms and even goes to therapy on a weekly basis ... but there no permanent fix.

The MTV trailblazer explains ... "Wanting to be with my castmates for a press tour celebration at the same time as carrying this weight required me to work through the effects in a public setting. ... I thought I could be strong enough to get through it, but what you saw was me trying to battle through one of my toughest moments."
He concludes the note by saying he will focus on his mental health going forward, and again thanks fans for their concern and even sharing their own stories about their personal struggles.
Ronnie briefly addressed his wellbeing Monday by posting on his Instagram Story as well, writing ... "High functioning depression is waking up each day with a face that works but a heart that doesn’t, doing everything you’re supposed to do while feeling nothing inside, and most days it’s like being trapped in your own life, forced to keep moving even when every part of you wants to stop."
In addition to love from fans, Ronnie's costar Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino -- who opened his own addiction and mental health treatment centers beginning last fall -- offered support to his costar last week.
He said ... "If he is willing, I will be there for him. My heart is with anyone who is struggling. I have worked hard to protect my sobriety for nearly 11 years, and I honor that every day while continuing to show up with compassion for others."

TMZ Sportshas obtained the 911 call made after wrestling referee Dallas Edwardssuffered a medical emergency in the ring during an Ohio Valley Wrestling match last Thursday ... and you can hear the panic in the voice of the caller as he desperately attempts to get help.
During the call, which occurred approximately 2-3 minutes after Edwards hit his head on the mat, the caller tells the operator the man needs help "right now."
I just watched the referee having a seizure in OVW, and its fucking horrible. These idiots just wrestle around him, and then as he's stiff and shaking, one of the clowns just drags him out the way. One of the worst things I've seen in wrestling, and that is saying something pic.twitter.com/PvJ7Oy7Hlm@swerve383658
As the call progressed, Edwards began to move, which was an encouraging sign ... but there was still great concern over his well-being. While people at the venue waited for help to arrive, multiple people jumped in to assist Edwards.
Scary scene inside the wrestling ring Thursday night in Kentucky ... when a referee suffered a medical emergency after taking a brutal hit during the match, which his girlfriend says resulted in a brain injury.
It all went down during a "four corners of chaos" match, when wrestler Brendan Balling made his way up to the top rope, ready to hit opp Tony Evans with a move. Evans, however, grabbed the ref and pushed him into Balling's path instead, sending him crashing to the mat.
A referee had a legitimate seizure at OVW and he was just dragged and kicked out of the way so the match could continue until someone ran into the ring to check on him.
The ref -- identified as Dallas Edwards -- hit his head hard. Balling checked on him, but instead of the match stopping, the guys continued. Edwards remained down, and at one point, started convulsing, in a super scary scene.
A Canadian woman woke up on Sunday with a headache ... only to discover a surgical screw was poking out of her head.
Here's what happened ... 14 months ago, Stephanie Faure had brain surgery to remove some tumors, so docs put in a metal plate and a couple screws to keep her skull intact.
She told CBC News a screw "presumably just came loose over time and was making its way out. It kind of just felt like being scraped from the inside."

Naturally, Stephanie went to the ER at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan ... and sat in the waiting room for five and a half hours! To make things worse -- when she finally got seen -- the doctor completely blew her off and told her it was "a cyst that looked like a screw."
Being so ignored was frustrating, Stephanie said ... "You could pretty visibly see what it was. And he was just telling me it wasn't what I was seeing."
She wanted the doc to let her get a second opinion from someone -- anyone -- else ... but was told to get lost instead.
So, removing the screw became a DIY project ... her boyfriend used tweezers and some tools to get it out at home.
Stephanie's planning to file a complaint, hoping it helps the doctor "realize that's not how you treat people."
Dr. Drew says sober coaches aren't the solution ... he says Britney's best bet would be to address her addictions with treatment, and that in turn would help with her bipolar diagnosis.
