Try to work against the stigma of people who seek mental health care. It's a great way to risk your job, isolate yourself from friends/family who find out you've been seeking help, further depression, become addicted to antidepressants, or financially ruin yourself. Sometimes all of the above. Far too many stories of people who sought help and ended up losing their jobs, being placed on 51/50 holds, or worse. I found out the hard way. If I ever regress, I'll never call the suicide hotline again. I wasn't yet set on acting upon it but called to have someone to talk to. Fucked myself for 2 years and for most of those 2 years my thoughts of suicide and level of depression were multitudes worse than before I had called.
