In the past two weeks, my mental health has declined dramatically. I think partially it’s because I haven’t been able to go to therapy, but I think there is so much more to it. First and foremost, my job has been intense the past few weeks. I love my job, but it can get difficult at times. Considering how stressful work is I actually feel happy there. When I go home, I feel alone. When I feel that way, my mind starts to race, and negative thoughts take over. My negative thoughts have gotten the best of me lately, and I feel like there is no escape.
I’ve decided that until I get my mental health somewhat under control again, I will stay off ALL of my social media accounts. I decided this because I feel I have a toxic dependency for my social media. I think this because I really don’t have any social interaction with people except on social media. When I am messing around on my social media accounts I don’t feel alone, so I depend on my social media to be the friend I don’t have. Honestly, it isn’t healthy to rely on the internet to help you not feel lonely. Not only that, but I don’t need people who don’t care about me knowing everything that is going on in my life. It’s a horrible addiction that I need to nip in the bud. I am continuing to write blog posts because writing is therapeutic for me, my posts automatically post to my social media accounts, so I don’t need to worry about being online to post. The only thing I will be missing is seeing the comments from everyone, but I am sure if you wish to tell me something you will find another way to contact me. I hope that my time away from social media will benefit not only my mental health but help me to do more than just scroll through Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I need to engage in more self-care and human interaction. It also wouldn’t hurt to get a little more exercise in. That’s the reason why I decided to do my personal fitness journey on the Fitness page. I seriously need to stabilize my mental health before I completely lose my marbles.
