PROTECT YOUR CARE.

When I come back from social media detox it's like getting hit by a train. Our brains are not built for the emotional bombardment our feeds cause. All socials, without exception, exhaust & numb you to justified outrage & extremism. Do yourself a favor, stop.

All the chaos has actually got me to put down the phone and put extra time into working on streaming and vo, which is what I need badly 😩

As a former addict, I never wanna be addicted to anything again & I know addictive things when I see them. Detox. At least a little. Don't convince yourself you'll miss something important if you do. It's always the same stuff happening over & over again. You won't miss anything.

Do something kind for your brain for once. Detox from socials, you deserve it. Focus on what's immediately around you: YOU. Be present for you, your family, & friends - they deserve the best of you, not what's left over after socials take your best energy of the day.

Community is more important now than ever, but you have to be a conscious participating & present member for it to help. You can't let socials siphon your care, there are people who deserve it more than billionaires & attention farmers.

I know it's easier to just sit there & doom scroll. But how many times have you wished you could DO something? This is how you start.

Im not sure if this counts- i don’t know if I’m still a burden or an outcast in any fanbase community after some of VAs i admire blocked me because of my extreme vulnerable state especially Most people didn’t believe about my condition called Premenstrual Dysphoric disorder (PMDD)😔

That's really unfortunate. I think it's important to remember that someone's personal boundaries are not a reflection on you or your worth. Sometimes a person just don't have the energy for that & that's ok. Sometimes it's best to share those feelings with those close to you. Wishing you the best!

Im trying even if I’m still struggling😔I know i still have lot of things to work on more after the shame, grief, & stigma I’ve been most of my life..Im still getting more therapy tools including art therapy sessions. I still wish things get better especially that i still want to apologize to them ❤️‍🩹
