I needed a change. Instagram (& other social media platforms) can be great - until it's not. It can be great for self-expression, for resources, for connecting but if you don't keep it in check, it can creep up on you - it's literally designed to be that way, to give you that dopamine hit. Take care of yourself first! So I quit social media, Instagram particularly, sort of and put my mental health first. I definitely broke the habit though and regained control of my life. What an energy and time drain.
Did this help my productivity? My anxiety? Did I find myself? Find out in the video!

Have gone on here and there to post something and check my messages cuz some friends still write me on there, but I don't stay on for long and then I uninstall it again. That anxious feeling is almost completely gone - pretty crazy how this is literally an addiction playing with your dopamine.
