I remember logging in and sharing every last mess I was going through, I used social media as a pacifier of sorts and as much as it was helpful temporarily, unloading ~felt~ like I did the "work" when that wasn& #39;t the case. I never sat in my discomfort, I simply unloaded it.

And as a result, I bonded with a lot of people who were also unloading as a form of therapy because we& #39;re all too broke to go see a professional. Journaling is even more lonely, I would never give that advice. I think creating support systems offline is *so* important right now.

Fortify your systems of trust and support, find the avenues that work for you to cope but don& #39;t come online when we& #39;re all going through it to unload and to trauma bond. It& #39;s not healthy. Don& #39;t use social media as an emotional cop-out. Deal with your shit offline.

I think the internet can be a good resource to learn and challenge ourselves but it can also inhibit our growth and keep us stagnant emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Being online a lot isn& #39;t the problem, it& #39;s how we& #39;re online that is.
