For the first time in months, I forced myself to get off the f—ing computer and go for a f—ing walk, where I met this little guy...
If at all possible, go outside sometime...
...your brain may stay in its spiral
...you may not notice any beauty
...but you may just encounter a random #cat in the middle of Amish farmland (who has no respect for it not being #Caturday) and be reminded for a moment that life...life is a thing

- Summary: A 28-year-old Dutch woman, Zoraya ter Beek, who suffers from severe depression, autism, and borderline personality disorder despite being physically healthy, has scheduled euthanasia in May due to her deteriorating mental health. She has a 40-year-old boyfriend and two cats and previously aspired to become a psychiatrist. Her boyfriend and healthcare ethicist Stef Groenewoud believe she's become an increasingly common exception in the Netherlands, where assisted suicide has been legal since 2001, particularly among young people with psychiatric disorders. Zoraya plans to be cremated and wants no music during the procedure. She was inspired to speak publicly about her decision out of a desire to educate others.

Okay. My Mastodon feed is, on the whole, way nicer than my old Twitter feed, but the ratio of horrifying/depressing news to interesting/happy news is still way too high.
I’m looking for suggestions for generally happy/upbeat stuff and people to follow, to try and balance things out a bit. Because I want to stay informed of the lousy stuff happening in the world, but I don’t want to be utterly deluged by it.

I can confidently diagnose #betterhelp as sociopaths.
Promised therapy customers privacy...then gave their mental health info to advertisers.
Victims get less than ten bucks each.
Company made billion+ in revenue last year alone.
In a just society with good privacy laws, they'd face existential civil & criminal consequences.

Nice review of the evidence for banning phones in schools. This reviews huge studies across numerous countries. The big takeaway: there’s no effect on children’s outcomes. According to the latest evidence, cell phone bans don’t work.

The #UnitedStates #SurgeonGeneral, Dr. #VivekMurthy, announced on Mon that he would push for #WarningLabels on #SocialMedia platforms advising #parents that using the platforms might damage #adolescents’ #MentalHealth.
Warning labels —like on tobacco & alcohol— are one of the most powerful tools available to the nation’s top #health ofcl, but…requires approval by #Congress.

When #Therapists Lose Their Licenses, Some Turn to the Unregulated Life Coaching Industry Instead

Despite past misconduct, some former therapists have continued their careers as life coaches.
Now, after a high-profile conviction in #Utah, legislators are asking whether it’s time for more oversight.

The #swimmers requested #TherapyDogs to minimize their #anxiety at the #Olympics.
“So many people find animals as a calming essence,” said Emily Klueh, manager of #MentalHealth & #emotional #wellness for USA Swimming. “athletes are looking for … environments where they can get away from the hype, [where] they can calm their nervous systems down.”

Replacing some or all of your #lawn with native plants and food is one way to support each other and the environment – but it truly does so much more than that.

I'm Charli! I'm a bisexual trans girl on a quest to improve my mental health, find more of my authentic self, make new community connections, and maybe get a bit closer to happiness as I go.
I live in Oregon's Portland metro. I love punk rock and 80s new wave music. I'm almost knowledgeable enough with Linux to be annoying. And I can hyperfixate over old shorthand textbooks like you wouldn't believe.
I struggle with anxiety, depression, sensory processing, depersonalization, and the typical difficulties of navigating life while being neurodivegent. I believe talking about mental health shouldn't be stigmatized.

1/2 Literal Crazy Shit
You ever wonder if Mastodon is even real? Like, maybe it's just a way for my brain to conceptualize hundreds of voices in a meaningful and organized way (laughs to self, spitting coffee everywhere because of "organized")?
I mean, I am pretty sure it's real, but also back when I was was on birdsite, I had a major psychotic experience that was not of short duration. Much of the experience was lived through a sort of virtual reality, with birdsite as the operating system. Even when I was not actively on social media, the people around me were still part of it, like working "offline" or something.
I experienced some probably not real things, with possibly not real people, doing and saying probably not real things. I say "probably" because i have no way of lnowing. But also I don't know what was what, because I hid it from everybody thinking they would think I am crazy. Yeah, I was literally crazy, thinking other people were crazy, and worried people would think I'm crazy.

Why It’s So Hard to Find a Therapist Who Takes #Insurance

Those who need #therapy often have to pay out of pocket or go without care, even if they have #health insurance.
Hundreds of mental health providers told us they fled networks because insurers made their jobs impossible and their lives miserable.

New #Biden Administration Rules Aim to Hold Insurers Accountable for #MentalHealth Care Coverage

The regulations will force health insurance plans to collect and report more data on how they limit and deny mental health claims. ProPublica’s reporting has found that insurers regularly shortchange patients seeking treatment.
