How is it feelings trumping rights ? Using the correct pronouns just seems like good old fashioned respect , imo . It is , however are you forced to respect people ? What if you call someone an asshole ? does that mean the HRC should fine you a few hundred dollars ? <| sep |> All you have to do is click the different tabs . I would think switching between computers would be more of an effort . <| sep |> lmao there ' s more people criticizing kendrick verse than praising it but any negative is getting downvoted to the bottom <| sep |> You ' re a good SO for wanting to help . I can ' t vouch for him because every person has different likes and needs and I ' m a girl , with my own preferences . But I ' ll just share what help me most when I ' m going through a bout of depression . Friend taking me out for a drive around the city . Because I know being outside makes me feel better but going out for a walk takes a lot of effort when you can ' t even make yourself take a shower and dress nice . Sitting in a car while someone else drives you around , with the window down if the weather is nice , is a great substitute . Most times I don ' t even talk and we just listen to the radio . Or my friend would stop by the beach and let me sit next to them and we just listen to the waves . Having an SO to wake me up and get out of bed each morning . It ' s the hardest part of the day , really . My brother when he was living with me would get or fix a meal for me each time he was buying or cooking one for himself . Then he ' d play something funny on the TV usually our favorite sci fi or sitcom and we sit together to eat in the living room . That ' s really comforting and distracted me from thinking about sad things . Friend showing up at my door with beer or scotch . We head to the playground in my neighborhood and we sit on the swings , enjoy our drinks , and just talk about random stuff . When I start talking shit about myself my life , I just want to get things off my chest . I ' m not asking for a solution . I know that an SO isn ' t responsible to fix me . It ' s just comforting to have someone listening to me . Just the idea that someone out there knows I ' m feeling crappy and they understand . These are little things that make my day better . By all means encourage your SO to seek medical help but don ' t push them . Another thing When I ' m depressed I don ' t enjoy being around a group of loud friends . But if you could arrange for one of his buddies to drop by and hang out with him , he might appreciate that . The key here is quiet company .
