A break from social media?

I did it earlier this year, and I'm concidering doing it again. A break, or vacation if you will from social media. The last time I did this was in May. I onlu did it for two weeks, but it had the effect I wanted! I felt it took too much of my time and I felt it became too negative. I felt stress and pressure because of it. I did it by deleting all the social media apps I have except for the app I use for chatting with my friends. 

If I do it again I am uncertain of how long my break will last. I feel it is back to taking up too much of my days as well as stressing me out. I feel the need to check if anything has happened several times each hour. This is time I could spend on relaxing, walking, thinking and taking care of myself. 

I recommend everyone at least try to take breaks. Just try it and see how it feels. If you don't like it there is no need to do it for long, but there is a chance it might do you some good! When I did it it was the most difficult in the beginning. The first few days I felt something was missing, but when I got through that state I came to a point where it gave me positive thoughts and better sleep. 

There have a been some nights now where I've had troubles sleeping. It may be helped with a break and it is at least worth trying. It won't hurt me even if it doesn't help. At worse it will do nothing.  The last time I let eberyone know I was leaving by posting it on the different sites. This was a way to let everyone know why they didn't hear from me. If I do it again I will do the same. Just so no one thinks something bad has happened to me.


If I do it it might do me some good and help me with things I need help with. Who knows? Maybe you should try it!

Not perfect

I’m a sensitive person. I’m not afraid to cry. I avoid fighting, unless I’m fighting for people I care about. I can be an intense person. I fall in love fast. I can be shy in certain situations. I can become angry. I struggle with anxiety and depression. I am not perfect - I am me.  We are all different. Love eachother!

Bullied for a lomg time

I was bullied. All through all 10 years of elementary school and all through high school. I was bullied by the cool kids, my friends and the other kids. I was bullied because I was a nerd,my red hair, freckles, my taste of music, the fact I was unable to roll the r’s when speeking. I was not an athletic kid and I was not good at the creative subjects. I was also bullied for being diabetic and when I started losing my sight I was bullied for this as well. Ever since I was a young kid I have had thoughts about death. I was not sure if my life was worth living. I was bullied at school, in my spare time and when the internet was getting common I was bullied there as well. It got so bad we went to the police with links, pictures and pages, all of hurtfull, bullying comments. We never heard anything from the police. This made me question if I had any worth in the world. I thought to myself «The police helps people that’s worth something, so I’m not. I started eating to not feel sad....

Are you prepared to support?

When you have a friend who is sad or depressed it is easy to say that you are there for them. This might be something you say just to comfort them and it might work! But are you prepared if they try to talk to you about what's on their mind? Having a friend who struggles is not easy. You have an important role to either play or pass. Not everyone is emotionally ready to take that role. However if you choose to say that you're there for your friend, you should be ready. It is terrible if your friend has told you you can talk to them, just to meet someone who shows no interest or someone who talks about your problems like if they were insignificant.  You might be in for a ride. They might be really happy, one moment and suicidal the next. Show you want to hear what they have to say. Don't say things like you've been in a worse place, had worse times or like you know exactly how they feel or how it is to be them. These things may lead to your friend not feeling ...
