Navigating Grief, Addiction, and Social Media: Insights from Psychologist Shelby Mathias

In his latest column, Thomas R. Oldt engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Lakeland psychologist Shelby Mathias, focusing on the complex interplay between grief, addiction, and the societal obsession with social media. Mathias emphasizes that the experience of loss can lead individuals down a path of addiction, as they seek solace in unhealthy coping mechanisms.

She explains that social media often exacerbates feelings of isolation and grief, creating a paradox where individuals feel connected yet profoundly alone. The constant exposure to curated lives online can trigger comparisons, intensifying feelings of inadequacy and despair. Mathias advocates for a more mindful approach to social media use, encouraging individuals to recognize its potential pitfalls while also acknowledging its capacity for connection and support during difficult times.

The conversation highlights the importance of seeking professional help for those struggling with grief and addiction, as well as fostering open dialogues about mental health in our increasingly digital world. Mathias's insights serve as a reminder of the need for balance and self-awareness in navigating both personal challenges and the influence of social media.
