'De afgelopen weken was de 1K Z1E J3-campagne met rapper Krulle te zien. Speciaal hiervoor bracht Krulle het nummer ‘Ik Zie Je’ uit. Samen met Typhoon, Glen Faria en MC Lost roept hij op om te praten over zelfdoding.
Als geen ander weet hij hoe verwoestend het is voor nabestaanden als een dierbare uit het leven stapt. Hij verloor zijn zus, nichtje en een jeugdvriend aan zelfdoding en door dat grote verdriet stond zijn muziekcarrière een tijdje stil.
Nu wil hij juist via muziek oproepen om elkaar te zien en te horen. Je bent niet alleen, er is iemand die naar je luistert.
Denk je aan zelfdoding? Neem dan 24/7 gratis en anoniem contact op met 113 of chat op 113.nl

I recently came across this image and it sums up much of my life.
Social media addiction is real.
This article looks at how social and online media addiction has affected real people and the steps they took to break it:

Personally, switching to federated, algorithmless media helped me break the cycle of needing validation through posts and the hours I lost chasing it.

You see our picture, so how can my child be ignored crying of hunger, begging only for a little milk to silence his little stomach pain?
Your compassionate hearts are our hope after God.
Your little donation of 200€ to buy milk may calm my child's hunger and give him a moment of rest. 💔🍼

"Throughout the trial, Meta argued that Kaley faced significant challenges before she ever used social media. The company’s lawyer, Paul Schmidt, said earlier this month that the core question in the case is whether the platforms were a substantial factor in Kayley’s mental health struggles."

Therapy is a good thing. I hope everyone who accepts that is able to find a good therapist.

Veterans Who Depend on Mental Health Care Keep Losing Their Therapists Under Trump
---
Hundreds of mental health professionals have left the Department of Veterans Affairs since President Donald Trump took office, leaving staff “at a breaking point” and some veterans waiting as long as six months for help.

Ghosting ist heute für viele Menschen Teil des Dating-Alltags. Doch für Menschen mit Borderline kann plötzliche Funkstille besonders schmerzhaft sein und tiefe Verlustängste auslösen. Warum Ghosting so stark triggert, warum manche Betroffene selbst zum Ghoster werden.

Purgatorio
A #poetry thread
i.
To rest, to sleep,
perchance to dream
in the unending deeps
of stained glass moonbeams.
To feel less than cold stone
and have a skin of granite —
to not fear being alone
on a crowded planet…
I lie on my cool plinth
and bathe in the soft light
of wavering colorful myths
glowing in my soul-night.

“We know the sun still exists even when it’s dark.”
A lovely line from a chapter I read this evening.
When we go through negative thinking, we have to know that eventually it will stop, and daylight will appear once again.

#mentalhealth #health we need to talk more about how toxic and abusive personal local circumstances of #isolation, misinformation, large-scale manipulation and deception, set up in #cult-like fashion, possibly motivated by #religion or #profession or other toxic in-person social networks for abusive/coercive malicious goals, can be reduced/negated with open #socialmedia due to #freedom and #resistance to #censorship.
Social media isn't the problem. People are.
For the past year we’ve been quietly building CareLink, an ecosystem for youth mental health in disasters.
Most of the time the crises felt far away: Türkiye’s earthquakes, displaced youth in Poland.
Then Portugal was hit by storms.
The work suddenly felt closer to home.
Disasters don’t end when the news cycle moves on.
CareLink exists because our systems are not yet built to hold that reality.

Dear #Fediverse:
Given the news in the last few days, I am encountering a lot of people who are seeking out #MentalHealth resources and #SelfCare techniques.
Can you help me add to the list? What resources do you recommend for people seeking mental health help?
How do you take care of yourself in tough times?
