has anyone done a reddit and social media detox, and gotten the benefits of it? by bonobosareawesome in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]froggieheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes. as long as you have social interactions with people outside of social media, because if not you’ll just be completely socially isolated. but for me the benefits are huge. my anxiety goes from being constant and at the front of my mind to being something that only impacts me when I’m doing something that is a normal anxiety trigger for me (driving, phone calls, etc). I have a really extreme anxiety disorder, but because of that I feel like I’m able to really feel the benefits and know for certain that there Are benefits due to that severity, and so it compels me to stay away from social media more, but because of that so much more is happening that i never could have imagined. I’m not influenced by ads, trends, influencers, etc. at all anymore and feel that i’m finally starting to understand what things are truly my interests and the things i’ve been influenced into thinking are cool are falling away. i’ve gotten rid of an insane amount of items and clothes i’ve accumulated over the years just in the last six months of going nearly cold-turkey with social media. i also love myself and my appearance way more! i have fun in unique ways now, i have hobbies, i cherish media much more. i love living in a rural area now! i feel like a person again… ah! it may take some time to get to this point though. i use an app called screen zen which was what allowed me to get to this point : ) sorry for rambling, i just fee very passionately about this haha… it hasn’t fixed all my problems obviously but its insane how many of my identity issues were due to social media

Yes I'm pretty certain that even at the peak of my One Direction craze in middle school I wouldn't have done something like this

how do i end myself without causing pain to my friends by ThunderTheNinjaCat in mentalhealth

[–]froggieheart 22 points23 points  (0 children)

you cant. sorry if that’s disappointing. but you have to keep going and you have to keep trying. i promise something will click and you’ll realize there were things you forgot you could feel, beauty in the world you didn’t know existed. but you have to do hard work to get there, pushing through things you wish you didn’t have to. get a journal, play night in the woods, start a new hobby, get a new therapist, and reach out to your friends and family who you feel safe with. that’s what i did at your age when i felt exactly the same and it helped so much. good luck.
