Over a 10-day period, Healthline and Psych Central will help you create a happy, healthy relationship with social media through interactive journal prompts, digital boundary-setting tips and tricks, and some hard-to-hear social media truths.ĭon’t worry, we’ll have a little fun along the way, too! That’s why we’re challenging you to take an introspective look at how your social media behavior affects your mental well-being. On top of that, 29 percent of respondents said they need at least a few days of break to benefit from a social media hiatus, while that number jumps to 46 percent among 15 to 24-year-olds.
That number jumps to 66 percent among those with a mental health condition that started or worsened during the pandemic. Of those we asked, 25 percent said they feel it has a negative effect on their mental well-being, and 53 percent said they feel that cutting down on usage could help. In a recent Healthline survey, we asked readers how they feel about social media. To help you do just that, Healthline and Psych Central invite you to join our 10-Day Digital Disconnect Challenge on Instagram. There are plenty of upsides to online connection, but how do we find balance with the constant flurry of input from friends, family, celebrities, and brands constantly vying for our attention? Many of us are so mixed up with our social accounts that it’s difficult to remember what we did before the feed. What would your mental health look like in a world without social media? Pretty hard to imagine, right?
