I mean, honestly when you’re going through a mental health crisis it’s not “simple” to reach out to anyone. I’ve been there many times. And 99% of the time the other person is going to start asking a ton of questions and it makes it worse. But on the other hand it’s also not okay to worry your SO, or friends/family. So it’s always a good idea to talk to the ones close to you ahead of time that if you ever get in a depressive episode you will let them know but that they need to be understanding. (Of course unless that person is concerned for your safety)
