Now on Instagram Too

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Being a tech and social media geek means that I’m always playing around with new things. In the interest of doing different things with social media, I’ve created a new Instagram account for this site. It won’t necessarily have things that are shared anywhere else, but it will be a way to share some different visual stuff, and hopefully interact with some of the folks who read this site, or want to talk about being a survivor, or mental health over on Instagram.

Feel free to check it out, and share it with anyone you think might benefit from it!

  • Just Stop – The Universe did not Cause My Abuse For My Greater Good

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 5 minutes

    I was abused by people who made the decision to abuse me. I did nothing to cause it, and there was no lack of purpose to which I needed to be directed. I was a little kid being beaten, and eventually molested, for years. My purpose in life was to be a little kid. There was nothing fair about it, there was no sense to be made of why it happened, it was the result of another person’s actions which happened to be directed toward me because I was there. And, I was there by chance. Not by divine interference, just random chance.

    I read this post over at Blooming Lotus the other day, and something just didn’t sit right with me about it. I decided to bookmark it and go back later, so that I could spend some time really thinking about it. Today, as I re-read it, this part still stuck with me in some odd…

    Yeah it’s been awhile since I had anything to say over on this side of the world. I guess that all has to do with being busy. Haven’t had a whole lot of time to really be contemplative lately, so it means less posting over here. Of course that usually means more posting over on…

  • How Do We Get Out of the Advocacy Bubble?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    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.
