This is all excellent advice.

I'd just like to emphasize your point about being prepared to hear their answers. But really hear it. Don't let the brain demons (depression warps perception) get to the words before you do!

Also, people often don't know how to have difficulty conversations, so this is another thing that can just make hearing the message harder. Eg, they often try to encourage as a way of showing compassion, instead of just showing compassion. They're stills being supportive, but it might not be the support you need. And just encouragement, without a good framework and a healthy mindset—which could have has been compromised by burnout—won't be enough.

I wholeheartedly also recommend going to therapy (and people often think this takes years, but it can just be a couple of sessions).
