According to this Psychology Today article people who regularly get migraines are more likely to suffer from major depression than people who don’t. I suffered from major depression for a long time and have had migraines for as long as I can remember. But I don’t think the migraines caused the depression, the child abuse caused the depression, but maybe it caused the migraines too, since they are biologically related?

Tomorrow I get to do something that, according to statistics, is one of the things adult survivors of sexual abuse dread the most. I have to have some dental work done. I was terrified going to the initial appointment for an exam, I’m terrified of going back to have this work done, and I’m terrified…
For those of you who have been following things over on the Tech Blog, you already know that I passed my A+ Certifications on Monday. That’s a relief!!! I did, however, find it odd that I got so stressed out about them. I can remember in HS being so incredibly good at taking tests that…
I’ve been watching some of the blogs that I link to in the blogroll on the front page of this site slowly go away, just stop updating, or morph into something else. So I’m officially going to start looking for more “Inspirational Blogs” in my surfing. As always, I’m looking for examples of regular people…
Pin Am I sad that there are fewer child abuse advocacy groups on Facebook overall? Sure. But, what makes me sadder is how many legitimate advocacy groups fell massively short of their duty to tell the truth to their followers.

So no. I don’t feel sorry for you if your page was taken down by Facebook for violating their terms of service around spreading disinformation. You owed real survivors, and the people who followed you to learn more about true child abuse stories, more than that. You are right about one thing, child abuse and child trafficking is an incredibly important issue. Spreading lies doesn’t help that message, it provides the rest of the world an excuse to ignore it. If you truly want to advocate for children, stick to the truth, or suffer the consequences.
This actually came in as a comment on a previous post. When I read it to decide whether to approve it or not, I thought that it wasn’t really related to that post, but it certainly was related to the blog overall, so instead of keeping it with that post, I’m posting it here. If…
Pin The question isn’t about sharing or not sharing, it’s about why we, as a society, tolerate the haters. Why, in a stadium full of tens of thousands of fans, did he have to take that on by himself? How many people heard someone tell a fellow human being to kill themselves and laughed?Â
How many people heard it or read about it and decided against asking for help? How many of them will we lose?Â
