Deleting SM just makes me feel more lonely and isolated

I deleted my socials a few weeks ago (Facebook and Instagram) after another clash with my almost teenager left me feeling rubbish and like I'm failing him/everything... had a big downwaes spiral - [I do feel better now]

I didn't want to end up oversharing with posts, and am was feeling frustrated at the amount of time I spend doom scrolling so thought I'd give myself a break.

I've realised it just makes me feel even more isolated and lonely though. There are a handful of people I WhatsApp and message regularly but not many. My bestie most days, sisters and a couple of other friends I text at some point most weeks.

I don't know what's going on in the lives of people I know and only 1 person has noticed I've disappeared.

No point to this post really just sharing my thoughts.
