Link – Viral Twitter Thread Nails What Having Social Anxiety Is REALLY Like

What I love about this is not just the topic, but how it shows how much good we could be doing with social media, how much we could be using it to support each other, and educate.

“Which is why this viral Twitter thread is so important — people everywhere who have social anxiety are sharing their experiences to help others better understand.”

Unfortunately, there is an awful lot of things that happen on Twitter, and any social media platform that is pretty much not this at all. That’s on us. If you’re not seeing supportive and educational stuff, maybe you’re following the wrong people. And if you’re not sharing on social media with those same goals, maybe you aren’t worth following.

  • Sharing – Depression in Kids: All You Need to Know

    Getting kids help as early as possible gives them a much better chance to have less depression and fewer effects as adults. Imagine how many people might have been able to develop mentally healthy strategies instead of devolving into worse conditions if it was common for kids to have access to mental health resources?

    Please, don’t ignore signs of depression and mental health struggles in kids. Yes, they can be resilient, but the research clearly shows that they aren’t as resilient as we think they are, and waiting to get access to help is doing more damage.

    In this case, it is better to be safe. The worst thing that happens is a kid gets some time to talk to a therapist who determines that it’s not depression but something else. This is not a bad thing, even if the stigma surrounding it says it is.
