How Facebook Has Ruined My Mental Health

 

Facebook is one of the most popular social media websites on the internet.

And I’m tired of it.

Facebook has been incredibly detrimental to my mental health that I’ve decided to stop using the newsfeed portion of the site, and only use the messenger app. And I’m only using it to talk to a few people, including my apartment group chat.

I’m no longer using Facebook for a variety of reasons, which I’m going to go into detail about below. But the main reason is because my mental health has been tanking the more I check my Facebook news feed.

My Struggle With Binge Eating and How It Ruined My Life

 

Binge eating disorder (or BED) is a serious eating disorder in which you frequently consume unusually large amounts of food and feel unable to stop eating.

I’ve been struggling with binge eating for a few years now. I don’t remember exactly when it started, but it came about after years of restricting to the point of worrying about being over 100lbs. I restricted so much that I started eating anything at any point to have enough calories in the day. That lead to continuous snacking, which eventually lead to binge eating.

I’m sure my depression helped along with that as well.

It’s very much a mental health issue as well as a physical issue. That can cause problems because it’s a lot easier to beat physical ailments than it is mental ones, at least for me.

Why You Need to Take Responsibility For Yourself Right Now

 

Taking responsibility is something I’ve seen slowly fading away in recent times.

A lot of social media seems to be blaming other people for their problems. Whatever the issue may be, I keep seeing people blame someone else for their problems.

And this is a problem.

Being responsible for yourself is the best way to live because it means you’re an independent person and you have the ability to be the best you are.

Why you need to take responsibility for yourself right now is because if you don’t, you’re probably going to be in a sad state until you start doing so.

What I’m Doing to Get Back in Shape

 

So within the first few months of the pandemic I really let myself go because my depression took over my life. I gained 35lbs, didn’t leave the house except for groceries and doctor’s appointments, and I slept most of my free time.

I was severely depressed and it showed in all aspects of my life.

Now that it’s been a year since the initial “15 days to slow the spread”, it’s spring again and the daylight has been helpful in motivating me to get back in shape and back to some sort of “normal”.

So, I’m doing a few things to get myself back on track, back in shape, and happier with my life.

Removing Social Media from My Phone Changed My Life

 

Social media is taking over the world.

It’s almost impossible to get around on sites online without a social media account somewhere. Facebook has made it almost impossible to avoid, especially with their constant acquiring other companies.

But social media is toxic.

Just take a look at Twitter and Facebook recently.

Politics have divided the country and it’s causing so much hate and outrage and I can’t stand it anymore. We need more positivity in our lives.

How to Get More Right Swipes on Bumble Dating App

 

Welcome to the dating scene of the future: everyone’s on screen and all you do is swipe left or right.

There are a few tips and tricks I have for guys and gals out there who are wanting to get on the app.

Yes, You Can Have a Happy, Fulfilling Life With Depression

 

Depression is a pain in the ass.

Not gonna lie to you about that. There are days where I really wish I didn’t have it, but there are also days where it’s manageable and I don’t have much of a problem.

But a lot of people, both with and without depression, don’t think it’s possible for someone living with depression to live a happy and fulfilling life. They think that depression means a life of sadness, depression, and bad thoughts.

It doesn’t have to be!

Having a Mental Illness Doesn’t Make You Less Than

 

There are going to be days when your mental illness acts up and you feel like you’re less than nothing. You’re going to feel like absolute shit about yourself and that there’s nothing else that could be done to fix that.

But that’s the trickery of mental illnesses. It makes you believe things that aren’t necessarily true, especially about yourself. The bad days are going to be bad, and the good days are going to be okay, good at best.

You need to push past those thoughts to realizing who you really are and how great of a person you can really be. It’s going to be hard, and there are ways you can combat these thoughts.
