Loved reading this, thank you. I also took a break from instagram after my baby was born in October, and it really benefited my mental health. But I also feel like I didn’t fully grasp the urgency of the attacks on Palestine. I was planning to write about my break from instagram this month but feel so torn and so confused. You’re so right about it existing on a spectrum.

I do know that it’s made to be addictive and that it’s not so good for our brains. I tried a soft-reentry back into instagram, 15 mins per day, and every time I’m on it I feel like I’m on a drug and those 15 mins pass by in the blink of an eye. But I also feel like if I’m not on it I’m missing crucial news.
