Ways to care for your mental health

Social Media Pressure

Real life is not a highlight reel.

What this means

Feeds show the best moments, not full stories. Comparing your everyday to someone's highlight is unfair to you.

Signs to notice

  • • Feeling worse after scrolling
  • • Checking likes often
  • • Losing sleep to your phone

Healthy coping ideas

  • • Unfollow accounts that hurt
  • • Set a screen-time window
  • • Charge your phone outside your room

Journal prompts

“How do you feel after scrolling?”

“Which accounts make you feel good?”

“What is real about your life that no one posts?”

“What could you do with 30 extra minutes offline?”

“What is one kind thing you can do for yourself today?”

Short activity: Feed Cleanup

  1. Scroll 2 minutes
  2. Note how you feel
  3. Unfollow or mute 3 accounts
