Reading – 4 Myths That Make Healing Nearly Impossible
Are any of these myths holding you back from healing? I know I’ve seen comments here, and on other sites, that make me think there are still too many survivors believing these!

This isn’t really surprising is it? An issue like depression zaps our ability to do much of anything, let alone eat healthy, exercise and take care of yourself. This is just another way it is a deadly serious disease. Australians with serious mental illness are living on average for 10-32 years less than the rest…
Sharing – Others Have it Worse
I think there maybe a couple of reasons why we fall into this. Al mentions one of the big ones, this becomes a way to avoid really facing our own issues. Since our issues are “not as bad” as someone else we can point to, this becomes our excuse to simply accept them instead of trying to work on ourselves and do the hard work of healing. Similarly, I also think this is an example where so many of us don’t see ourselves as worthy of getting better. Our issues aren’t as bad, so we don’t really deserve to get treatment, or get support, or even admit that we need it. The truth, though, is that everyone is worth being supported and getting help when necessary. There is no one in this world who has never needed any support, no matter what kinds of trauma and struggles they are having, or how bad someone else might have it.
Sharing – Is social media as bad for mental health as we think? New study challenges screen time fears
You can see how it’s not simple. Mental health across a generation of individuals defies every attempt at a one-size-fits-all narrative, because we are not all one size. On the other hand, our brains want a simple narrative because what they want more than anything else is a reason to think that this won’t happen to our kids or us. So we run to simple solutions like bees to a hive. Sometimes that causes us to miss a lot of the details.Â
Let’s hope we continue to see improvements, but understand that there are a host of things we can and should be doing that don’t involve social media at all.Â
