Link – It’s Okay to Talk – But, It’s Also Okay to Take Medication

ByMikeM May 11, 2017May 12, 2022 Reading Time: 1 minute

Let me go one further. It’s OK to use whatever tools are available that help you! Everyone is different and there’s no reason for anyone to not use all available tools, talk therapy, medication, exercise, etc. as long as they help!

Don’t let anyone shame you into not taking care of your own mental health because it’s not they way they would choose to, it’s your mental health.

Link – His College Knew of His Despair. His Parents Didn’t, Until It Was Too Late
ByMikeM May 19, 2018May 19, 2018 Reading Time: 1 minute

It’s easy to say after the fact that if someone at a college suspects a student is a danger to themselves, the parents should be notified. The reality though, is much more complicated than all of that: “There’s a concern that if the school has too low a threshold for contacting family or suggesting a…

Link – Understanding Recidivism Through Child Abuse and Mental Health
ByMikeM February 26, 2017 Reading Time: 1 minute

This makes sense. We know that child abuse increases the likelihood of not only mental health issues in adulthood, but also a lack of social skills and development. Those are exactly the kinds of things that leave people desperate enough to commit crime. Treating those things would assist in providing other options. In 2016, Chicago…

Sharing – Tips for dealing with anxiety, the ‘check engine light’ of the brain
ByMikeM September 21, 2023September 21, 2023 Reading Time: 1 minute

I love thinking about anxiety as the check engine light. It fits if we think about it, because sometimes that light tells us that there’s something wrong, but sometimes the light itself is malfunctioning.

That’s anxiety to me. Sometimes there really are things the be anxious about, and sometimes those things have caused an overload in our brain such that we can’t figure out what to do with that check engine light

Link – Yes, women can be sexual predators
ByMikeM November 1, 2018November 1, 2018 Reading Time: 2 minutes

One of the reasons I hate any kind of generalization about any group is that it allows for society, as a whole, to ignore some individuals behavior, just because it doesn’t fit the narrative. For example, this happened is South Africa: “He’d been in the bathtub at the time, he remembers. She had walked in…

Sharing – Having your pain invalidated is associated with increased shame and, in turn, an increased risk of depression
ByMikeM February 25, 2022February 24, 2022 Reading Time: 1 minute

There’s more at the link, but again I’m going to ask, given the positive impacts of validating someone’s pain and emotions, and the negative impacts of invalidating those same things, why would we do anything else?
