Stopping social media got rid of my anxiety

An analogy I like to compare this to is alcoholism. For some people, they can have a healthy relationship with alcohol. With other people, nothing they do prevents the slippery slope so its better to go cold turkey and not touch it at all. It’s great if social media doesn’t have that affect on you so obviously this message isn’t for people like you but as you can see from the overwhelming number of responses to this post- social media does negatively affect a lot of people. And sometimes people don’t realize that its the social media. I was just spreading awareness, not trying to tell the people who already have it figured out to stop doing what they’re doing. Namaste
