Is social media fuelling my daily anxiety?
from Owning It: The Anxiety Podcast
Access Owning It Real Time HERETime for another solo episode - don't worry, I haven't given up on guests - and this time I am discussing the very real impact that social media - Instagram in particular - is having on my daily anxiety at the moment. From social comparison to feelings of not doing enough or imposter syndrome, I have come to the conclusion that social media might be the main fuel behind these uncomfortable feelings. I asked my followers if they were feeling similar and among other stats, 55% said they struggle with the social comparison element of social media. This is a short and sweet episode that just might make you think.Order yourself (or for a friend) a copy of my new book, Everything I Wish I'd Known About Anxiety: A Roadmap out of the Overwhelm and Back to Yourself here Follow me on Instagram @CarolineForan and @OwningItPodcast, on Tik Tok hereSubscribe to my weekly Substack here (not always anxiety related, often parenting related)Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/owningittheanxietypodcast.
