I’ve deleted my FB before. I’ve had it back for about 6 months and just put it into delete mode. I have like 30 days to log back in if I want… tbh I really hate FB. It gives me anxiety and I spend too much time on it. but then there are days where I feel really alone and cut off from the world, and FB helps a bit with that.
I dont know if the good outweighs the bad. I kinda like not being scrutinized by anyone by not having FB. What do you think. Is there an in between or is all or nothing?
I rely on FB too heavily for my news to ever delete it.
Hey thomas are u done with making videos…!!! Do u work in a job or part time or full time… which med are u on…???
hey mate. yeah done making youtube videos. im doing pretty good no work just college. im on seroquel 700mg and klonopin 1.5mg a day. how are you mate?
Face book has proven by researchers to be bad for you. Higher depression rates across the board plus most people feel isolated. Look at the findings or do your research on it. They tried to say that actually engaging would help but thats a fallacy.
I’ve read that as well. as someone with paranoid thoughts (schizophrenia,) and anxiety, it doesnt feel like a safe place for me.
I was big on Facebook in college, then deleted it for years and didn’t miss it. Got back on for a little til I got sick and have now been off it for almost 4 years. Still don’t miss it.
Now that I think about it I should probably get ride of my FB. I think FB is talking to me too frequently.
I deleted my old one and started a new one, I like it better, I’m alone 99% of the time so need things on line to keep me sane
I deleted mine… I won’t never go back
I’m kinda with ya there tbh
I deleted my facebook months ago. It was useless and all my “friends” I never spoke to.
yeah that’s another big one. “friends.” man I disappeared for 2 years because of schizophrenia. I get back on FB and get connected and maybe 1 or 2 asked me what I had been up to. pshh… “friends…”
I disappeared for like 8 friggin years!! I knew the people from highschool but they weren’t my friends anymore.
sorry mate. It’s rough, I know. better to know someone’s true colors though and move on with your life. I’d rather be alone by myself than alone around people if you know what i mean.
with paranoid thoughts and anxiety, i think it’s best to limit your time on there. i still have my fb page but frequent it less and less these days. it’s depressing to see everyone evolve with spouse, kids, and career when I’m feeling stuck. I’m genuinely happy for them but that can only go so far. I wouldn’t delete it but definitely limit the time on it.
Facebook is toxic garbage filled with toxic garbage people. It gave me terrible anxiety. I deleted it. I feel much better now.
I deleted mine years ago. Never looked back. Good riddance.
Guess it’s because of my age, but I like FB.
If it weren’t for FB, I’d rarely talk to my family because I hate using the phone.
Then again, I hardly ever post stuff, I tend to reply to others.
I deactivated mine. Maybe you can do the same, deactivating your profile on FB temporarily disables it from being viewed. Then if you decide to activate it again you don’t lost any info.
To be honest I think FB is a terrible place for people with mental illness to hang out. Most of us struggle with basic things like showering, brushing our teeth, and even finding a significant other.
Everyone on FB only posts about their good news. I.e. getting engaged, pics of their kids, new material things they’ve purchased etc etc.
People rarely use it so socialize. Which to my understanding is what is was intended for.
Idk. I could rant forever about how much I hate it. But I hope you reach a decision that brings you inner peace.
