Does anyone else find it stressful working in social media? I'm really wondering if all the time I spent on social media is actually detrimental to my mental health.

The research shows that social media really is detrimental to your psychological well-being. I think this must apply even if you are using social media for work, the immense negativity and click-bait really seems engineered to increase cortisol levels and disrupt a healthy mindset.

Yes, it is common for people who work in social media to find it stressful. Social media can be a very demanding job, and it can be difficult to deal with the constant pressure to produce content, engage with users, and track metrics. In addition, social media can be a breeding ground for negativity, and it can be difficult to avoid seeing harmful content. Make sure to set boundaries, take breaks for yourself, and get support from others.

Yes! It could be the most stressful yet rewarding field, to be honest. But if you feel like your work is affecting your mental health, I suggest you take a break. You need it.

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober?

Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
