So growing up I got fairley bullied at picked on in school, online, ect. And have adhd and recently haven’t been taking any meds for it, and am waiting on new meds and treatment transfer for this new therapist place. I’ve been going nuts, the littlest things would just make me mad and tense up and I have a mood disorder. And with all this being picked on triggered insecurities back and forth. Had mostly girls call me fat or short or this or that ( I mostly get bullied by girls ) been having body body changes for years been having this happen online multiple times and these girls still have accounts in acts of unkindness doesn’t sit right with me. And even If I took a "social media break" I feel like it would be bad because the only way I feel like I can express myself thru being social ( I’d rather talk to someone online than someone in person )

Welcome to the community.

I'm so sorry you have experienced all the bullying. It can be very damaging.

I'm not familiar with much of the social media out there. Isn't there a way to block these tormenters? If you can block them you wouldn't need to take a social media break.

I understand this is the main way for younger people to communicate and taking breaks isolates you. No one wants you to be alone.

If you are going to remain in the same environment with these people you are going to have to think about how you are going to deal with them. You know what to expect from them so making a plan to co exist without damaging your self worth is important

Best of luck with this

🐬

Thank you so much! Understand by all means and I do block these people but I’ll just never forget what they said ab me even if I have them blocked I still remember the mean things they said to me.

Absolutely, words are very hurtful. I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's good you are protecting yourself

some social media sites can be adjusted for getting away from people. I leave groups, turn down lots of sponsored ads and block people on Facebook. I also use “restricted list” on my friends list so people see my public posts but not my friends posts. It seems to work ok.

Not what you're looking for?
