    Asking for Help Can Create Connection – So Does the Thank You

    ByMikeM October 10, 2023October 8, 2026 Reading Time: 1 minute

    We’ve talked a lot about the importance of connection when it comes to mental health. Being connected to others is a great tool in suicide prevention, and we see study after study reporting on the negative effects of loneliness. One great way to create a connection among your friends is to ask for help when you need it. People, generally, like to help. The little bit of vulnerability it takes to ask for help can create a huge improvement in the connection between two people.

    Unless, of course, you don’t bother to acknowledge the help with a thank you.

    Sharing – Life-Changing Benefits of Self-Compassion

    ByMikeM October 10, 2022October 9, 2022 Reading Time: 1 minute

    Child abuse can be all about shame and guilt. Because the entire world wants to believe that things are fair when we grow up, trying to square that belief with what happened to us as children naturally leads us to believe it’s our fault.

    You can’t have self-compassion and also believe the abuse you suffered was your fault. We have to get past this idea that the world is fair and we get what we deserve. It’s simply not true. We have to be willing to have the same compassion for ourselves that we would have for another crime victim.

    Everyone deserves to have some compassion for others and learn how to have compassion for themselves.

    The Comic Book Kid Lives: A review

    ByGuest Submissions October 10, 2017October 10, 2017 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    (ed note – this review was submitted by a reader.) Memoirs of childhood sexual abuse from the male perspective tend to be rare. “The Comic Book Kid Lives: A Survivor’s Story”, a daring and surprisingly heartwarming new memoir by Ryan Castro-Miller breaks the mold in more ways than one. While the book covers some topics and situations that…

    Reading – An Open Letter to My Childhood Friends

    ByMikeM October 10, 2015October 7, 2015 Reading Time: 3 minutes

    “Whenever I bump into you in the high street, in the gym, the pub, uneasiness washes over me. I don’t know who to be: the school child me, with high grades but a rebellious streak; young adult me, flirting with socialism and madness; or “mature” me, literary, tired, and slightly jaded. The truth is, depression…
