    Sharing – Suicides make up majority of gun deaths, but remain overlooked in gun violence debate

    ByMikeM April 16, 2024April 16, 2024 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Trigger warning – discussion of suicide attempts. If you are struggling, please call 988 in the US or a helpline in your country. There is a lot of media coverage about guns in America, but this part is underrepresented in all of that coverage. Suicide is the leading cause of gun-related deaths in the United…

    Blaming Social Media for Mental Health Issues is a Cop Out to Avoid Harder Decisions

    ByMikeM April 10, 2024April 10, 2024 Reading Time: 3 minutes

    What I read in this matches what I see in real life. Some people spend a lot of time on social media doing things that are bad for their mental health. (Comparing their lives to the ultra-filtered images they see on social media, filling their feed with information that is bad for their mental health, etc.) while others use social media to connect with an online support network.

    Given that, the calls for banning social media use for kids seem odd, but they are based on that being the easy thing. Blaming big tech will never be unpopular, and there is a possibility that some people might be better off not using social media as much.

    Sharing – Touch can reduce pain, depression and anxiety, say researchers

    ByMikeM April 9, 2024April 9, 2024 Reading Time: 1 minute

    The more I see research like this, the more I become convinced that one of the most significant losses many sexual abuse survivors suffer has to do with how complicated touch becomes for us as adults.

    Sharing – The Importance of What Wasn’t Provided

    ByMikeM April 4, 2024April 4, 2024 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    The impact of what you weren’t given as a child can be just as real as the impacts of physical and sexual abuse. The struggle to navigate relationships and work, emotional immaturity, the lack of trust, the inability to be vulnerable, etc. Those are all things we should be learning throughout life, and they are all something we can learn throughout life. It sure would have been nice to have been able to start that process in childhood, though.

    40% of Americans are Covered by Medicare or Medicaid and Struggle to Access Mental Healthcare

    ByMikeM April 3, 2024April 3, 2024 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    We talk a lot in the advocate community about not being alone with mental health issues. I try to encourage anyone to see others who are dealing with the same issues around mental health and childhood abuse and recognize that they are not in this alone. There are many of us out here dealing with the same thing.  Many in the US and other countries are alone in accessing care. That should shame us all.

    Sharing – Are Adult Survivors of Child Abuse Ever Fully Healed?

    ByMikeM March 27, 2024March 27, 2024 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    This is why I look for the definition when I read anything about being fully healed. What does being healed mean to you? Is your definition possible? A definition that includes the abuse having zero impact on who you are today? Because that’s not realistic. But it also doesn’t mean you can’t go on to have a healed life while acknowledging that it is still part of who you are.

    It was a traumatic event; they became part of us. They don’t have to rule us, though. That’s healed.
