Mental Health & Twitter.
Lets cut the crap: many of you on this app are not okay.
It has been a bad 10 months, & while some cracked earlier, some of you are starting to crack down recently & it's time we talk about it.
1/
First thing's first: it's okay to not be okay.
We have all suffered the lockdowns, economic turmoil & worldwide events in different ways.
Nobody can say that they had a perfect year.
2/
Before going into why I think many of you are not okay, here are a few things we can physically change to make it better:
- Move more & do exercise
- Proactively get more sun & fresh air
- Unfat yourself
Mind is body, body is
Now, to the Twitter part. Many of you are so far down a rabbit hole that only does you harm the only reason you aren't coming out of it is due to the sunk-costs fallacy.
You have invested so much time going through a specific road your ego won't let you pause & go back.
4/
You've followed people for so long you do not want to unfollow or mute.
People you like & have followed for ages who do not have your best interests in mind.
All they do is purposefully make you upset & rile you up.
All they do is groom you. Because u "wanna stay informed"

I'm certain there is a positive correlation between being hyper online & mental unwellness.

For the last year people have been moving less, getting less fresh air & sun, doing less fun activities.
If you can't leave your house, log off more often to keep your wellness in check. https://t.co/jGkpW9DSVu
