social media

Hi, my name is SOWK1913. I'm here because I am need of the #MightyTogether community for legal help and resources. Unlike the Maya Kowalski's case, I don't believe you should have to commit suicide for your case of medical kidnapping to be heard through #SocialMedia #MentalHealth #online to get help, but I want to speak out and get support, not commit #Suicide . The administration of Baltimore City Department of Social Services has discarded and failed to investigate a case of medical kidnapping and illegal seizure, a mother's voice need to be heard to save my son's life. My son has a #Disability due to advocating for help he was abducted from the University of Maryland Medical Center by Social Worker, Rachel Theirry who use to work for Baltimore City Department of Social Services. #corruption and #Fraud has enabled this case to continue without the administration being adamant about finding the truth and helping to locate and return my son. Yes, I have reached out to politicians, such as Senator Cory McCray, Senator Ben Cardin, Senator Van Hollen and Governor Wes Moore. If you have any resources for legal help, please provide it as I have depleted all the pro-bono resources, Civil Justice and Maryland Legal Aid. #Autism #ADHD #legalhelp

I logged in to Instagram for first time on weeks. It gave me a highlight reel of last year, probably the best of my life. Me in a bikini, out and enjoying life when I was engaged to now the worst year I've had in over a decade. Dunno whether to engage and post about hard times or just get rid of app again. #SocialMedia

Sometimes afther being on #TheMighty I just feel more #depressed and #sad IT's kind of like maybe when you have a cup half full and you have a person in your life who always deeply vents to you. That your cup over flows. Sometimes it just become to much. Just like #SocialMedia This APP can become to much.EM i making any sence? Has anyone ever felt like this.? Sometimes the unhelpful comments. The negative comments. ECT

Sometimes it feels so good just to sit by yourself, relax, and not talk to anyone.

I’m getting really sick of most social media realms.

One of my friends posted: “You don’t have to run far or fast to stay fit.” With a meme on the benefits of running. This woman is always trying to purport this sport as something people should do.

I stated my opinion that I feel the sport isn’t for everyone, it’s not for me because of my ACL’s (one repaired) and my arthritis. She commented with articles on how running builds strong bones and connective tissue. I said that I was glad the sport was for her, but it’s not for me. She IM’d me, all butt hurt that I attacked her on her own page. That wasn’t my intent, at all.

I apologized. People just frequently misconstrued written words. Maybe, I’m just in a lot of mental anguish for bullshit I’ve been through lately?

I don’t know. I’m tired of stepping on eggshells with people. My feelings are also valid but I know I shouldn’t comment on anything, really. Only positive and agreeing comments are accepted, even at that, it’s usually about oneself.

“Be yourself; everyone else is taken.”

With me regarding the acquaintance it’s like this joke: “I saw people jogging past my window today, and it motivated me to get up and close the blinds!”

#SocialMedia blows #PTSD #Sadness #BeYourself -but mostly I just feel #SOCIALLYAWKWARD sometimes, Maybe I should just fade away..

I want to say about 3-4 years ago I started to debate taking away all of my social media. Politics was becoming rough and like all of politics, we share our thoughts, which generally is a good thing. As time passed I started to see people that I have loved and cared for, for years, start to post ignorant comments. Various mental health subjects started to unearth themselves with this political dumpster fire. It made me feel as if those who I loved disregarded my emotions, those that they knew about, as they strengthened the stigma for mental health. It made me feel so sick. I was a generally social person and was getting even better at how I conduct social behavior. But this feeling inside told me it was time to delete it all. A few people thought that I was being sneaky, hiding things, when they didn’t realize it was them turning into the people I could never waste my time on if they can’t have mutual respect with me. I am always available to listen to any sides and enjoy conversation, but not this time.

I felt great for a long while. I could only see positivity. My chest felt light and I had the ability to continue my recovery.

I learned more and more as time passed. The biggest, unfortunate, discovery that I had learned was “Out of Sight, Out of Mind.” I am not perfect at keeping up with everyone’s specifics, but if it’s a holiday, I’ll text you. If I remember your birthday or a special time, I’ll text you. Again, I’m not perfect but I do what I can. However, on the other side, I receive nothing from anyone.

I wonder how much I can remember about a person in a short period of time to where I will remember that you like ___ movie, etc. A “Hey, What’s Up?” Or a “Remember when we…” Things like that make a huge difference in the world.

I know when you grow up things change. People have kids, get married, move to a new place, fancy job, all of it, and I love to see my friends happy. But without Social Media I’m invisible. I can’t believe that a device can make me become invisible. It hurts. I’ll think of a fun activity to do and realize that I don’t have anyone to do it with. I love exploring on my own, meeting people, adventuring, or just enjoying peace and quiet. But in exchange for peace and positivity by shutting down Social Media, I have become the most lonely that I have ever been.

I truly am #OutofSightOutofMind

Social media can be addicting... I want to be active and take part in it, but I don't want to lose myself to the temptations that feel built specifically for my ADHD. Is there a program that restricts social media? (I.e. only let's a person post twice a day or only lets you spend 30 minutes on it a day before it locks you out based on your settings.)

If not, then there should be. Time management is a huge issue that a lot of people struggle with, especially if you have ADHD or other mental health disorders.

I know there are apps and programs that allow you to block sites entirely, but I get lazy and tempted, especially when I'm depressed. I know I can unblock it at whim and I won't always feel like going through the hassle of turning it on and off. Maybe one of them has a timer built into it that can you can schedule for every day or week or month (interval options are important). I need to do more research, but maybe one of you good people knows and uses something they like and could save me some time?
