I feel so much better without social media. I would get anxious and exhausted about events going on around the world. I also compared myself to others which I need to learn hoe to stop.

I can understand struggling with comparing yourself to others. I think it is very human of us to do such a thing, especially with social media making it so easy to only ever see the good of others' lives. People never post the bad, so we never see that they are just as human as the rest of us. I am glad to hear that you feel so much better after the removal of social media. It sounds like a very good step. I have heard many people say that it helps with their need to compare others when they do not have social media. Social media does more harm than it does good. You can stay connected with those who are important to you with phones anyhow. Without social media, you don't find yourself seeing all these milestones people share and you can really connect with the rest of the world. I hope you are able to continue to progress. Let us know if you need anything.

I had the same problem. I used to use multiple social media, till my laptop got overheated. So like you, I quite all those websites. Except Twitter and YouTube. As for my broken laptop, I found out a few ways to fix it quickly. And one of the ways was to check out BIOS settings. Some of them can overload the motherboard. So you cannot imagine how many things I managed to do at home once I quit those toxic social media! And so much energy that I have now.
