Everyone uses defense mechanisms. When we use them unconsciously, it is to protect ourselves from negative thoughts or feelings. So you might ask “Isn’t it a good thing to have defense mechanisms?” To answer this question and more is Tom Cleereman, Director of Outpatient Services at Sierra Tucson.

Interesting, it seems Social Media has learned how to specialize in sliding untruths by our defense mechanisms by playing on favoritisms in our minds.

True and often You can't take what is first heard at face value but have to check many sources to see if what is said on the Social Media is even true. More often that not what Your exposed to is a one way view, not for valid information but to cloud or influence Your perception of issues. People can become very agitated about issues that were not valid in the first place.

I find being around people and keeping busy is the best way to place any negative feelings or depression behind Me quickly. Don't dwell on the negative and remember Life is always a series of ups and downs. We sure do hope the up's outnumber the downs but better days always seem to be ahead. That seems to have been working for Me My entire life and the support of My immediate family is of course very important in this and We help each other.
