Fellow addict over here 🙋♀️ Have been having lots of similar thoughts recently about how social media drains my creative brain and never feels particularly satisfying, and leaves me feeling frustrated that I can’t show up on Substack more where I feel more able to give a deep dive into thoughts and topics. Proud of you for recognising and making the change ❤️
Hey girl, yes can totally relate to that. Especially with our dopamine chasing brains I feel like I’m just using social media as a dopamine slot machine now but not getting the hit I want/need anymore so I end up spending more time on there (ok, just realised I’m literally describing addiction). Hoping I can show up here with more consistency and intentionality than IG. Here’s to trying! Thank you for commenting ❤️
Thank you for being so honest lovely, I relate so so much. I am glued to my phone with Instagram open all the time, snd it is such an anxiety thing, most of the time I don’t even need to be on it but due to habit I am. Happy to be following you here xx

Hey Victoria! I found being constantly attached to my phone definitely made me more anxious as well. Thank you for being here and commenting xx
