Social Media & Comparison Stress
Support for the low mood, envy and self-doubt that build up from constant scrolling, comparison and online image management.
Common concerns
- Feeling worse after time on Instagram or TikTok
- Comparing appearance, income or milestones with peers
- Anxiety about posting, likes or being left out
- Losing hours to scrolling instead of sleeping or studying
- Fear of judgement or online criticism
How therapy may help
- Mapping which online habits actually lower your mood
- Cognitive work on comparison and self-worth
- Realistic digital-boundary experiments, not blanket 'delete everything' advice
- Sleep and attention recovery routines
