It's a short-term thing I'm trying out, been three weeks since I started. My plan was to delete instagram and only let myself check in 2 or 3 times a week. Before this, my anxiety was terribly high over people and body image. I sort of treated instagram as the "real world" since it was one of the few communication I had with outside things and people during the pandemic. This messed me up badly because I started to overshare and do things i normally wouldn't do since I was mentally unhealthy. I let myself cross people's boundaries and I let them cross my boundaries. It really sucked how my self-esteem was dependent on others. I saw people for the image they portrayed rather than who they really were. This month or so, I cut some of it out and started working out more. I'm still a newbie to fitness, but I'm willing to put in as much effort as I can to stay healthy and somewhat fit. It's been helping me get over some heartbreak and I feel 50% less anxious so far. It's like my mind is humbling down and I'm taking better care of myself. It makes me feel like I can be a good and improved version of myself, and prepare myself for future relationships and other endeavors.
