Everyone says this, but try exploring the wilderness, there’s so much beauty in this world that you can’t see online

I was in the same position. I know it sounds insane but the solution that worked for me was deleting the app. Honestly, I think you should at least try it, just quickly delete it before you change your mind.

Also try to follow a lot of positive news outlets that only mention the good news from each week that’s helped me some

After a while I started noticing that I’d reach for my phone to scroll and already be feeling rising anxiety, only to feel relief once tapping the icon led to nothing. It makes you realize that the app was never good for you in the first place.
