I started my period unexpectedly at work and bled through onto an office chair. I was mortified because my manager was a man. I told him, bracing for humiliation. You know what he did? He didn’t make me clean the stain while panicking. He quietly got cleaning supplies, took care of the chair, handed me his jacket to tie around my waist, made sure I had pads, and helped me find a change of clothes.
No jokes. No disgust. No scene. He just made sure I was okay.
depression isn't just crying, laying in bed and faking a smile. It's also being really mean to the people you love, not feeling real, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, panic attacks, having no energy to respond to anyone and having a hard time keeping loved ones in your life
Call me immature but I do not like a neutral friend especially if you know the other person did something hurtful or malicious. You will be cut off. Being neutral in moments when you know someone is dead wrong is problematic as hell. A friend to all is a friend to none 🙃
This takes courage…
