    Sharing – Study finds no “smoking gun” for mental health issues due to Internet usage

    ByMikeM November 29, 2023November 30, 2023 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    When we rush to do something for the children, there’s a long history of implementing changes that do not help children. Running out to block teens from using social media might also cut them off from the only source of support they have, especially kids who do not have support at home from their parents. Creating age verification requirements threatens our privacy and creates unlimited risks for identity theft. Rushing to do something because a few studies show a possible mental health risk is dangerous.

    Sharing – What’s going on in depression to make negative beliefs so sticky?

    ByMikeM November 25, 2023November 24, 2023 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I think this is important to understand because so often we assume that someone with negative thoughts or doubts about themselves and the people around them just needs to be shown some contradictory information and they’ll move away from it. For many of us, that is true. I can say “I’m bad at this”, or distrust people but if someone were to offer some contradictory facts I might be swayed fro that thinking.

    When I was dealing with major depression? There was never enough contradictory evidence that would cause me to rethink my feelings, they were too powerful and they were too much a part of me.

    Even Friends Who Are Bad Influences are Better than Not Having Friends

    ByMikeM November 20, 2023November 20, 2023 Reading Time: 1 minute

    Connection matters more than small behaviors. Loneliness is more damaging to our mental and physical health than small vices, despite the amount of digital space spent talking about what we should and shouldn’t eat, drink, or do with our time. Yet, so many of us make our friendships one of the lowest priorities.

    We’re hurting ourselves and each other.

    Mental Health Knows No Group Identity, but Our Stressors are Not All The Same

    ByMikeM November 18, 2023November 18, 2023 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Mental health issues can strike anyone, anywhere. We wouldn’t see the numbers of people dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc. if mental health issues were only a result of group identity. They aren’t. People you know are included in those numbers, whether they’ve told you or not. While that fact should remind us that mental…

    Feeling Lonely Should Inspire Us to Connect, But Often It Does the Opposite

    ByMikeM November 13, 2023November 13, 2023 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    For myself, and all of you, remember that feeling of loneliness is there for a reason, because we are meant to be connected to other people. Generally speaking, all those people we know and should connect with, also need the same thing. Many of them might even be struggling with their own internal negative thoughts too, and could use someone to reach out to them. If we all sit around convinced that no one wants to connect with us, eventually we’ll all be lonely, which seems like something we are headed toward. The solution is for each of us to take a step toward connection when we can.
