How to seek assistance

Seek professional psychiatric help. If you are afraid someone from work

will find out, seek assistance in a neighboring community

If needed, ask your supervisor or employer for an extended leave

of absence. You may be pleasantly surprised to find that they will cooperate

and may even understand your situation.

Talk to a trusted friend, peer, or family member. They too might be able

to give you a wealth of assistance and encouragement

If you belong to a particular religion, try talking to the Minister or church elder
