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 )

Howdy Locke, I am so sorry that you have to wait for therapy stuff to sort itself out and navigate all of the trash on social media. I don't know what to say other than to recommend the book and podcast that I always recommend: "Feeling Great" by David Burns and the Feeling Good podcast.

the therapy waiting game is horrible, I’m right in it with you. And I can’t even imagine what it’s like going to high school with current social media. But please know 2 things: 1) people “bully” out of their own insecurities and 2) you will find your tribe. Putting yourself into things that you like, will put you around likeminded people, even if it’s virtual.

All the best to you! 😊
