Pin PinJust wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has followed this blog and shared any of the posts with others who have in turn started following this little blog. This weekend, we passed the 2,000 “like” plateau on Facebook, and are currently closing in on 8,000 Twitter followers.
It may not seem like much compared to some other big stars, but it amazes me that we are able to reach the number of people that we do, and continue to grow!
Thank you!
Pin (ed note, updated in Dec 2020) I write often about the connection between social media use and mental health. If you’ve seen any of my previous posts, you know that I tend to be doubtful of there being any direct tie between simply using social media, and being depressed. Rather, I think it really depends…
Just thought I would post a quick update on the Survivors Network, which continues to grow! There are now480 members, and though their participation comes and goes as life sometimes gets in the way of being online often, there’s still plenty of new discussions and posts that have been made recently. Also, I added a…
As I was sitting in the airport yesterday, I started to notice the number of people complaining about various things about air travel, and I thought to myself that, yes, there are plenty of things to complain about, but some of what was being said just really wasn’t accurate. It seems to me that a…
Yes it’s true, I’m actually taking some time off, and spending it offline. Starting today, until the last week of April, I will not be around. Now, that doesn’t mean my blogs or social network profiles will go quiet. I do have a number of things scheduled to post and share throughout the time I’ll…

Pin The content of the article is pretty accurate, but if you saw the article shared on Twitter, for example, with just the headline, what would your take-away be? Oh, the headline? This is what it said:
“If this happened to you in childhood, you may have mental health problems”
That headline seems to imply the exact opposite of the content of the article. The study they are reporting on, actually says the opposite of that. It implies that we really don’t know or understand all of the causes of mental health issues. For some, it may be tied to childhood trauma, for another person it may be tied to something else, or someone with a lot of childhood trauma didn’t grow up with mental health issues.Â
Since we know many, many people only read the headline and then either move on, or share based on the headline alone. I can’t help but wonder how many people are sharing something, assuming that it says that childhood trauma causes mental health issues, when the article actually says it’s more complicated than that.Â
