Addicted to blogging?

Here’s an interesting look at the possibility that blogging is causing problems for people and taking away from people being able to live their lives offline.

I can easily see where that could happen, but I think I suffer from the opposite effect, when I’m not out living my life, I’ve got nothing to blog about! (See the lack of posts here when I was down with the flu last week..)

Let’s hope that all of us are finding the positive benefits to connecting with other survivors without crossing this line into being obsessed with our blogs, eh?

    One October Saturday in Southern Louisiana and All the Good

    Given recent events, it’s easy to have a bleak outlook on life, and on the human race. I struggle with it myself, frequently. I’ve written earlier today in fact, about how social media and news publishers are even working to make us more fearful and outraged about the world because it’s good for their bottom…

  • Slacker

    OK, ok, I admit it, I’ve been a slacker when it comes to this site. I’ve been extremely busy at work, and extremely busy with holiday stuff that I simply haven’t really had time to think any deep thoughts that would be appropriate for this blog. I’ve been completely preoccupied with technolgy-related thoughts. Of course,…

  • The shell is in place

    I managed to get all the content from the old site that I wanted to move, moved over the weekend. The “shell” of the site is in place so now I begin working on additions to the content. The layout is going to remain as is, for now. I’m happy with the simple look and…

  • How Do We Get Out of the Advocacy Bubble?

    If what I do sounds descriptive of how you live your own online life, than let me challenge you. Find a post that resonates with you, on either blog, and share it with your network. Or, share this post with a personal note about how child abuse, or mental illness, has touched your life with your network. Not just with the folks you already interact with about these topics, but outside of that.

    And then continue to look for ways to reach beyond the bubble of the online survivor community. Because there are survivors and people dealing with mental health problems all around us, and there are also those who remain uneducated about those topics all around us as well.
