Unplug!
Limit your social media usage, or go the whole hog and ditch it completely! I totally get that some people's jobs or other commitments require people to use social media for important ends, but on the other end, tipping the scale considerably, are those of us who you could say are addicted to social media.

Living with Real Emotions in a Virtual World
Mental health typically lives as a topic of quiet discussion. It also leaves its victims feeling alone and like no one understands. Help is usually not far away, but people have reason to be scared. To keep up appearances they often downplay or hide their own emotions and keep their pain to themselves. Other people, are not afraid to tell everyone what they are going through, whether it is genuine or not.

Social Media Vs. Mental Health
It was just a feeling, not even a thought that I was aware of. Just a feeling that started to physically determine itself in long nights that attacked my ability to sleep and relax. With each turn of my shoulder, each smarting, blink of my eyes, and a little less sleep one thought would be followed by another and then another until my head was full of uncontrollable pictures of the past and of the future.

My Mental Health Won’t Make Me Interesting
I can only speak one language. I don't know how to fold a fitted sheet, and I hate parties. You could suppose that these things alone could & would potentially be a part of one's personal traits that make them seem cool and interesting, and I would suppose that that's right. However, I can't do these things. There's actually quite a lot of things that I can't do, or struggle to do, and in that ineptitude, I have often found myself using my illnesses as a crutch to deem me as the manic pixie dream girl trope.

Cyber Bullying is Killing People…. Top Story - January 2018.
When I was younger, I was bullied. Sometimes I think that it wasn’t that bad, largely because no adult seemed to care that much. But since the memory of being punched in the face till I was knocked on the floor, by a boy in my class, and the memory of having leaves stuffed into my mouth in the bushes of my school playground by girls older than me, stand out above most of my other memories from school… I’m going to assume it was kind of bad. It maybe fucked with my head a bit.
