My daughter has severe anxiety and OCD. Her dad is quick to jump at “she’s hiding behind her mental health issues” whereas I understand bc I have anxiety and ocd however when I was coming up there was no such thing as social media and instant spread of information which DRASTICALLY worsens any anxiety based disorder. I would HIGHLY recommend deleting Instagram, tiktok,Snapchat and maybe even Twitter for at least 60 days. Write that in your notebook to show ur parents as part of the action plan as well and watch how much it helps 😘. Good luck

Yo OP, I tried to first disable all the notification on all social media because I didn't want to delete them as they were handy for communication sometime. After disabling everything I realized that my phone was boring as fuck now and I only checked on it when needed.

I believe this is less cold turkey and works pretty well for focusing on tasks.
