Social media

[tax19]

Hi all

I am considering deleting social media (Facebook and Instagram) I don't post often but spend so much time scrolling it's just a habit.
I also have been having issues TCC and feel all I see is babies!

Just wondered feedback on people who have deleted social media. Do you feel the benefits? Do you feel you miss out on anything?
Also does it take willpower!
Thank you

This is my only social media. I turned off fb aaaages/years ago and I've never regretted it. I've steered clear of twitter etc. I don't feel i miss out on anything important. If someone wants me to know something they'll tell me. I'm OK with not knowing the minutiae of others daily lives.

Apart from being on here, I deleted all SM 6yrs ago. No willpower needed, has taken a lot of pressure off and I saves much time during the day!

Why not suspend your accounts for a week and see how you go?

*save

I deleted mine two years ago, apart from mumsnet and goodreads I don't have anything.
Don't miss at all in fact I'm happier without it.

Another one happily SM free apart from mumsnet. My mental health knows all about it the second i take a peep at the others.
A tip: delete - don't deactivate. Then relish the 'joy of missing out'!
Seriously my life is so much more peaceful and fulfilled. I hope you can find the same.
Perhaps you could use the time crafting or writing or drawing. Good luck

I took insta off my phone pre pandemic as i was finding it overwhelming. Barely used twitter so deleted that off my phone. With FB i barely go on it now - I find it too overwhelming and I am ok with hardly being on it these days. I used to spend hours on it every day!
