How social media effects mental health?

It can cause a lot of anxiety and screen fatigue if overused. Setting a simple timer for app usage can really help your peace of mind.

In our days, we had real face-to-face chats and fewer worries. Today, this constant phone scrolling is making young people very lonely and anxious. Try spending more time talking to real friends and family directly.

It is a double-edged sword; too much scrolling leads to sleep issues and low self-esteem. I always suggest keeping your phone outside the bedroom at night. Try a 'digital detox' for just one weekend and see how much lighter you feel.

I used to spend five hours daily on Instagram and it made me feel like an absolute failure compared to everyone else. The constant FOMO and anxiety were miserable until I deleted the apps for a month. Your feelings of inadequacy from social media are completely valid.

The blue light and fast videos scatter your mind's energy and disturb sleep. Doing ten minutes of deep breathing or pranayama before bed helps quiet the brain and restores mental balance after a long day of screen time.

It definitely causes massive comparison issues and ruins sleep. Limiting screen time is very important.

I get very anxious seeing perfect photos of people my age, but I don't know how to stop using it. Does replacing social media with some other hobby actually help reduce this anxiety?
