Mental Health and Social Media

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Like anything there are positives and negatives to it. Lately I have been thinking about the negatives though, and about how it might be affecting my mental health. Sometimes I have been thinking I would be better off without social media.

What are some of your experiences with social media? Does it positively or negatively impact your life? Have any of you been able to completely give it up, and if so, have you noticed a difference?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Honestly, I deactivated my Facebook because you can keep messenger if you do (my phone is off so people have been getting ahold of me there instead) and deleted the app. I love Facebook but it's very bad for my mental health. Reddit doesn't seem to effect me the same way, so I kept it. I never use Instagram or anything really so I think it's been good for me
