Nothing like trying to casually request a sanity guard from people. I’ve done that myself, and it’s incredibly awkward. Sort of like asking them to check if you’ve got a lump. Still, it has to be done. Your family and friends can look out for you somewhat, but they aren’t always around. And occasionally they need a sanity guard at the same time you do.

Good on you for taking care of your mental well-being, though. For some reason, our culture doesn’t really place a high value on a healthy mind – nowhere near the value it places on a good tan and nice muscle tone.
