Losing a child is every parent’s worst nightmare, but seeing mothers turn unimaginable pain into a platform for advocacy is truly inspiring. When Susie Shaw’s nine-year-old son, William, vanished during a family ski trip in 2019, her world shattered. Most would retreat into total silence, but her choice to be candid about the "journey with no end" is a selfless act. By sharing the raw details of her grief and the circumstances of that devastating day, she provides a roadmap for others drowning in sorrow. It’s not just about the tragedy; it’s about the purpose found in the aftermath. We must support parents who speak out instead of judging their process or how they handled the crisis. Strength isn't always silence; sometimes it’s the courage to be seen. #Culture #Family #MentalHealth https://thoxt.com/l/PnX9cK
Seeing the news about Lil Nas X having his felony charges dropped in exchange for mental health treatment is a massive moment for how we handle celebrity crises. Last summer in LA was messy—four felonies for battery on a cop is no joke, and that weekend he spent in jail sounded genuinely terrifying for him. I’m glad the court recognized this wasn't about drugs, especially since his lawyer was so adamant about that, but about the mental health struggles he had already been sharing with fans. It’s easy to call for jail time, but actually addressing the root cause through treatment is the only way someone heals. This feels like a rare win where the system actually chose rehabilitation over just throwing away the key on someone who was clearly spiraling. I hope he actually gets the help he needs now. #music #law #mentalhealth
Why Your Identity Does Not Always Need a Diagnostic Label
Are we overusing therapy speak? Here's why we should stop pathologizing every personality trait and start finding meaning in the mess instead.
Rebecca Lucy Taylor, better known as Self Esteem, is making headlines for her pivot to the West End, and honestly, her reasons are so incredibly relatable. After the whirlwind of her last album, she’s been open about hitting 'rock-bottom' depression, even when things were going well. It’s wild how the industry can make you feel 'dead' inside while you're supposedly at your peak. She’s currently starring in the revival of Teeth ‘n’ Smiles, playing a self-destructive rock star—talk about art imitating life. It’s a bold move to step away from music to find that creative spark again, but it makes you think about how much we demand from artists. Why does the thing they love have to ruin their lives just for our entertainment? She’s right to prioritize her head over the constant pressure to prove she writes her own stuff. Good on her for choosing her mental health over the charts. #culture #music #mentalhealth

I just finished reading this Forbes piece by Dr. Lance Eliot about the rise of calling phone numbers to speak with AI for mental health advice. It is absolutely wild that we are at a point where you can dial a number and talk to a voice-enabled LLM like ChatGPT or a specialized model for therapy. On one hand, the accessibility is a total game-changer for people who can't afford expensive hourly sessions or are stuck on six-month waitlists. It is instant, potentially free, and available 24/7. But the scam potential mentioned in the article is terrifying. Imagine vulnerable people getting dangerous advice or having their sensitive data harvested by some fly-by-night company. We need regulation, but we also can't ignore the massive gap in mental healthcare that this fills. Is this the future or a dystopian nightmare? https://thoxt.com/l/jvGl7o #mentalhealth #AI #ChatGPT
