Rec | JUST DELETED INSTAGRAM

🦋

ever since I got this app i’ve been feeling like i should get rid of instagram altogether. recently, i’ve been feeling that even more. i get so overwhelmed on that app. i feel like i see too much of everything! and they’re constantly explaining why everything in our lives is killing us or that i’ve “been doing X wrong“ my whole life. and there are a few good moments every now and then, but i feel like they don’t outweigh the mental toll it takes on me. ive deleted instagram before for social media detoxes, but this feels like it might be a bit more permanen. anyway, that’s all. just wanted to share!

information/content fatigue is sooo real. deleting instagram (tik-tok and twitter too) has to be the best thing i did for my self this yr.

i found myself overwhelmed and sick of social media too

i recently began to ask myself why am i using all these apps and do i really need all of them, and i started realizing that the things i’ll miss out with these apps is so much more than without them, i knew i had the idea that my worth was tied to my online presence and i’m happy that i’m getting rid of that mentality.. i had so many memories in my snapchat account but i ended up deleting the account and the app because if i didn't do it than i may never, later that day i removed my twitter accounts and the app from my phone and i’m so glad i did, and i replaced them with healthier and less time consuming apps till i decrease my screen time gradually

Deleting instagram often

sometimes the things that the internet offers you feel like they’re poking an open wound and you need to delete Instagram for 10-24 hours. this app has helped me do that bc for better or worse… I need to be Scrolling On Phone and this is much more calm

deleting instagram every six weeks

it’s the closest thing i’ve ever gotten to experience deleting and redownloading dating apps. great measurement/lowest bar/last resort that somehow works for declining mental states
