It’s really, really hard to ask for help. Then when unavailability kicks in you get discouraged, fast.
In the US, you can check with your employer to see if they have an Employee Assistance Program – many employers do, and phone calls are free (and confidential!) Many programs pay for 3-5 in-person mental health visits, and try to align you with an in-network provider. It’s a start.
