Healthy internet use for well-being

...See more Most people have heard that using the internet can lead to issues and even dependency. Anything can be harmful if used incorrectly or excessively. There are some good sides to the internet as well though. Internet use may be associated with higher levels of life satisfaction, better self-reported health, and fewer symptoms of depression among adults aged over 50 in 23 countries, suggests a study published [https://doi.org/10.1038/s41562-024-02048-7] in Nature Human Behaviour. * Excerpt MedicalXpress [https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-11-internet-access-adults.html] Internet use [https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5877025/] has a positive association with mental well-being among retired Americans aged 50 or older, as it reduces isolation and the probability of depression very significantly. Participation question: In what ways are you using the internet? How does it improve your well-being?

If you have serious, long-term problems with negative thinking and feeling depressed, see your doctor or talk to a therapist if they are related to any mental challenges.

A new Men's Issues Community already working!

Men's Issues / by jacek73

2 hours ago

...See more Hello Everybody 😊 I am not sure how exactly it works here (so I am sorry in case I did anything not very recommended), but I really disliked seeing the blank space in this Community we needed - and this message is to let you know that thanks to some efforts by many good people here at 7 Cups the Men's Issues section is already open! 😊 Despite the popular myth about men, we are not all "alpha males". We, men, are sometimes open and talkative, sometimes intelligent, sometimes thoughtful and sometimes very sensitive. We are not indifferent and we care about our lives, our partners, our children, our friends and other people around. We believe it is not the power or violence, but wisdom and love that make us men. Certainly, this Community is also not going to be any "men vs. the rest of the world" debate, because beside the qualities described above I believe we also tend to be self-critical, too 😉 Also, sometimes we suffer from feelings that may have their sources in events buried deep in the past. We are strong, but not indestructible. Some of us might have lost their fathers or haven't known them at all. For some of us our fathers have been alive, but not emotionally available or not setting a good example, so the only parents we have really known were our mothers or grandparents. We are humans, so we may suffer from things like depression, grief, fear or anxiety. And some of them may be connected to us trying to fulfil our positive roles in this world as men, fathers, brothers, sons or husbands, to some specific feelings we have as a result of our experiences and specific events or traumas we have been going through. I believe this is what Men's Issues Community on 7 Cups forums might be all about...
