Yes, much less clutter to deal with. Peaceful. This forum is enough. I still have snapchat, but I barely use it, I only have like 6 people added in it.

I also found that facebook and Instagram was making my paranoia worse. I was having funny thoughts especially when i put my photo on there. Especially facebook because hardly anyone was talking to me

As you said it’s your paranoia.
No real threat there

You compare yourself to others, you said.
It’s a matter of therapy.
Avoiding all media won’t make you better

I hadn’t used internet for three months few years ago. Didn’t change my life much. I am on this forum, reddit and twitter. I tried IG and FB. I felt lonely there. And depressed. So not worth it for me.

I am on Youtube if you consider it social media.

Yep, deleted my fb account about 3 years ago and don’t miss it.

I deleted my Facebook a while ago but I had to create it again for a course I’m following.

Sometimes you need it!

Iin another post youtalk about wanting to go off meds, yet two moreposts you talk about deleting things due to paranoia.

I wouldn’t recommend trying to discontinue medication with being unstable enough to try to delete everything due to paranoia.

17

I have kept my media on hold hoping i will get better and go back to scream out i have been there.

Which is never gonna happen because i feel its not a perfect way to socialize.

Meeting people in real time is the best thing.

Yes but i know why im paranoid its because i get jealous ofthese people

19

I seem to suffer with alot of jealousy in regards to other people. I just cant help it. And it makes me paranoid because i dont want others to look at my posts and be like me. Its just my point of view. I feel like no one is really genuine in regards to this and then i get paranoid

No need to be jealous.
