ive finally found something that helped my anxiety

So ive suffered with Anxiety for awhile now but got worst anyway i decided to not bother with Social Media like Facebook, Twitter etc, so ive been not going on it as much deleted both the facebook and messenger app and only access it every now and there and it has helped quite a lot.

I have become very dependent on Social Media the last few years and i believe that this is one of the causes of Anxiety personally i think its better to just delete it all and not bother with it if it does this for me, i have replaced going on facebook with going out a lot more.

I utterly get what you mean. I to have come to that conclusion. Although I have recently in the past few months found myself back on it, I have done myself a great deed by deleting certain social media like my Facebook app for sure. The only other social media I use most is Instagram and I am getting to a point of wanting to get off of that as well. And I was on a good roll of not googling but I find myself from time to time falling into that trap. But bottom line, I agree with you. It has definitely aided in my anxiety getting bad. I have replaced going on social media with reading on this bible Gateway app. So I use my phone to read the bible.

I wish us the best.👌🏽

Hi 😊🥰 you dont know how much that makes me smile. Yes I have every intention to get back going with my videos. One thing I will admit, my anxiety has always kept me in this vicious cycle of starting things and then not sticking with it. And I truly want this to be one thing that I stick with even if all I can comfort is just one. And whether you believe it or not, all I could say to myself lately after not doing my videos was that I must keep it going, especially because of you. Your comments and replies to my videos meant the world to me and I appreciate you for that. Yes I will get back going. And I've prayed for you.

😊 see ya soon.

Hope all has been well. My anxiety has been up and down still and I could have definitely kept it going.

Thank you, for your very heartfelt reply I know it's not easy I have major issues with anxiety too and it can be so exhausting. I'll be praying for you too because you know prayer really does change things we just have to be persistent we can and we will overcome this. Thanks again, see ya soon!

Jbamford...you made the right choice because being on social media 24/7 can be very detrimental to our mental health.

I 'credit' an online forum that I joined a few years ago with triggering me into the mess that I find myself in now. It was supposed to offer 'support' - instead, it threw me completely over the edge. It was the worst thing I could have done! I think you've absolutely made the right move! Apart from this forum - where there is never any bullying or drama, I only use Instagram for my photography and crafting and FB messenger to keep in touch with friends and family. The rest is strictly off limits as I know I can very easily get 'triggered' again. ❤

[Icanbeathis2016 in reply to Meredyn]

Same with me. I try to limit myself to minimal access to Instagram and FB to only for business purposes or reaching out. I do use Instagram the most.

My anxiety is lower when I am not on Instagram. Social media heightens anxiety. I couldn’t agree more.
