Finding Balance: My Journey
with Social Media
A story by Makinzy
Introduction
- (^) I used to be on every social network I could find. At first, it was just to keep in touch... but it started affecting my personal life.
Breaking Point
- (^) "I don't think I can do this anymore... College isn't anything like I expected."
A Turning Point
- (^) A friend reached out after a concerning post. She came over and listened. That moment changed everything.
But Also Risky
- (^) • Loneliness
- (^) • Lower self-esteem
- (^) • Anxiety and sadness
- (^) • Disconnect from real life
Taking Control
- (^) With Lila’s support, I found resources and set guardrails on my social media use.
Moving Forward
- (^) I now balance social media with real-life connections. It's not always easy, but it’s worth it.
Final Thought
- (^) "Managing my social media use is one of the many techniques I use to keep my mental health on the right track." – Makinzy
