I highly recommend abstention from FB. Just do it. No need to deactivate your account or make a grand proclamation or anything–simply catch yourself before you get on there, and don’t go. One day at a time.
I was amazed, last summer, at how precipitously my anxiety levels dropped once I did that. And how much better I slept.
Yeah, I think you’re right. It’s hard for me to stay away, and when I realize just how hard it is, I know just how much I need to quit going to it.
I don’t have trouble sleeping because of it, but I do feel more negative and unhappy about the world because of FB. I wish there were a filter where you could get rid of all the political stuff on there. That would be really useful.
