Saturday night alone after DD is in bed and I dig into Facebook and everyone’s wonderful lives full of friends and family and happiness. I am friendless, very little family shit job, etc. I need Facebook for work or I’d get rid of it, I’ve unfollowed most people so they don’t come up on my newsfeed then occasionally I go for a nosey to see what I’ve missed and it always turns into a pity party for one!

I find myself doing the same thing

Not everything you see is the truth OP. I know of some people who parade their whole lives on facebook and the reality does not match up to the picture they paint.
Don't be so hard on yourself. Social media can be mentally draining

I know it’s why I usually have it all hidden. Could slap myself for getting sucked in!
