      I totally get the whole wanting to stay in the loop thing with keeping up on social media but honestly something can be a big deal and go away in like a week and no one thinks about it ever again. I would just rip the bandaid off, delete your socials and just try to fight the addiction while keeping in mind it was harming you when you had it and transition your focus to new things like a new show or art or exercising or meditating or journaling, etc

      I thought it would make me more anxious but I realized that after I cut back on social media I felt better. I’m focused more on myself & my health into of everybody else and what they have going on
