Seriously. Maybe it’s like a nudge: “fine, fine - give me the damn standing desk!”

I know! It’s so strange...

Agreed!! Standing desk and constant little breaks to walk have worked wonders for me. Although above all lots of nyc walking has done the trick of saving my back entirely. Ergonomic chairs always made my back worse, or the same (lots of soreness and frustrating pain).

Any advice as to how to help my other-half (who has bouts of anxiety and depression) apply to jobs? He’s going through a particularly rough patch at the moment. We had a big chat the other day which was great! However, even if we agreed that I’m doing everything I can for him (his words) it has to come from him (which we both agreed). He’s having a real mental block (I think with writing cover letters mostly) he describes staring at the screen feeling incapable. Any suggestions?
