I can totally relate to this! I’ve had a love-hate relationship with social media and its impact on my mental health. On one hand, it’s been great for connecting with friends and finding support during tough times. On the other hand, I’ve definitely felt the pressure of comparing myself to others and spending way too much time scrolling through my feed. It’s a constant battle to find that balance. But I’ve found that setting boundaries and taking regular breaks from social media has really helped me. It’s all about finding what works for you and being mindful of how it affects your mental well-being. Thanks for sharing the article - it’s comforting to know I’m not alone in this struggle!
