Hello
TheBlueWhale was a Russian online achievement based game-project. A number of individuals started to spread it among sad and depressed teenagers (mostly).
The game consisted of 50 challenges, one challenge a day.
The challenges began with cutting or hurting oneself and ended up at climbing a top of the nearest highest building and jumping down.
While the teenagers were doing this, they made contact with TheBlueWhale team. There are rumors that who ever wanted to stop the game got harassed etc. The contact was usually through Skype.
My question is, what are the principles of doing the exact opposite of this?
What would be some problematic parts of it, and why do you think it would or would not work out?
I have been pondering on this for a good while now. In my opinion, the use of the internet would give us all that we need to help out different individuals (of course, if they want to help themselves...) in this regard. Mental problems are usually just a series of lifestyle events that enhance or degrade our mental well being.
In my personal experience, there are easy cheap ways that people can use (like the Wim Hof method) to try and enhance their mental well being.
Going on this route, we end up at a complex positive and healthy lifestyle that should ensure a positive well being in most cases.
Sorry if the post looks inconsistent or incomplete.
Any idea is welcome.
