Social media and your mood

How screens can affect how you feel.

Social media can connect people. It can also drag mood down.

Ways it can affect you

  • Comparing your life to curated images
  • Doom scrolling bad news
  • Losing sleep
  • Online arguments

Small changes

  • Turn off notifications
  • Unfollow accounts that make you feel worse
  • Put your phone outside the bedroom
  • Notice how you feel after scrolling

You do not have to quit. Use it in ways that help, not hurt.
