    Sometimes the best way to escape the pressure is by stepping away. Share stories of taking social media breaks and how it’s helped with self-esteem and mental well-being, providing guidance on how to manage a healthier relationship with social media.

      I deleted Instagram for two weeks during my exams, and honestly, it felt like breathing fresh air. I stopped comparing my life to everyone’s highlight reel, and my focus got way better. Highly recommend a break every now and then!

      I used to scroll through TikTok late at night and then wonder why I was anxious and tired. Once I took a 10-day break, I started journaling instead. It was HARD at first, but I felt more present in real life.

      I told my friends I was taking a social break and they supported me. We started sending each other letters and it’s the cutest thing. 💌 Try doing it with a friend—it helps a lot.
