Would you be able to do a social media detox?

Question

I'm thinking about deactivating my Facebook account for a few months.  I've tried it in the past and only made it a few weeks.  I find myself feeling sad sometimes seeing friends going on fancy vacations, buying nice new cars, or just going out! Unfortunately I'm in the process of IVF so trying to save as much money as I can.  It doesn't help those sponsored ads are all over Facebook too! Thoughts on social media detox?

Answer

When you start to feel jealous, remind yourself that it's so easy for people to portray their lives to be something it's not on social media. Often times what you see is not an accurate depiction of how their lives really are. Not saying this is always the case but it happens a lot. If taking a break from social media would make you feel better than do it!

Answer

I deleted Facebook 3 years ago and have never looked back. Now I do have an Instagram but it's only family, a few friends, and mom bloggers and shop owners that I follow. 
My husband deleted his also, by his own choice.

Answer

I actually just heard about a study they did, which confirms that social media can make others feel depressed. Why? Because the perception that everyone else's life is perfect and happy, while you are going through a hard time or a less amazing time weighs heavily on an individual. When in reality people ONLY post good, HAPPY moments on social media to appear to have a better life than they actually do. Cutting off social media will not only increase your happiness, because you're no longer worried about how "insignificant" your life is versus someone elses, but you will overall enjoy the real life moments more.

Answer

I got off Facebook in 2011 when I was pregnant with my son. I don't know why but I started to feel really weird about how all these people from high school I was "friends" with posted countless pictures of their kids for all to see. I suddenly felt this urgent sense of privacy and did not want people I really didn't keep in touch with to know what my kids look like. There were several other reasons I had been thinking about getting off Facebook but that was the clincher for me. I have never regretted my decision - I don't miss it one bit.

Answer

My Facebook is so my Parents can she the grand babies so I can't

Answer

I've done it a few times, because of drama, or just tired of seeing political/social issues, or tired of pregnancy announcements. It gives you some time to heal, and then you can reactivate if you want. I think everyone needs a break every now and then.
