I read this when you posted and thought, “hmm, I could try that for a few days.” I immediately deleted instagram from my phone, and haven’t missed it since. I feel happier, have time to explore hobbies, and have no intention of getting sucked back in. Thank you for starting this conversation!

Jenny I’ll be thinking of you. Best of luck with your transplant and I wish you healing and a good recovery. I love hearing you started painting. I definitely notice a difference in my mood when I’m on social media and when I’m not.

I have had chronic pancreatitis for 12 years and that means a lot of down time. The past two years have been spent in my home, mostly in bed. That meant a lot of phone time. I decided my health could not survive that any longer. I’m having an auto islet transplant in two weeks. I started painting and decided to get off Instagram about a month ago. Game changer. I do not miss social media at all. I feel more even with my emotions and far less grumpy.

In reply to Sara.

Thank you for sharing Sara. I think IG became a big draw for all of us during the pandemic, and that’s not surprising. We need connection as humans, in the beginning of the pandemic we were so isolated, some of us still are in many ways, especially for those of us with unvaccinated kids or immune-compromised people in our lives. That said, to your point, our addiction to social media comes at an expense and often it’s those closest to us who suffer. I don’t ever want my daughter to think of me as someone with her eyes glazed over looking at her phone 24/7. Ugh. I can’t wait to break free of IG. Thanks for your support.

Wow that’s really interesting I’ve never heard of a Light Phone but your son sure does sound wise beyond his years.
