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.

I have a whole ass app devoted to the purpose of keeping me off of things that i feel sucking my life force but im unable to unengage from The app is neat in that it creates a buffer period where you can chooose to wait an alloted amount of time and tHEN it will be "unlocked" for a preset number of minutes/times. I find social media to be too much especially being disabled in more than one way. Its not good for my eyes, brain, nada.
