Source image: facebook.com/MSWorld

The world these days is wild, people can just post something that can initiate hatred and often can be processed as cyber bullying. Maybe some will have to go to jail because of their posts.

Especially these days the antisemitism movement and many hate movement not only towards a country but also toward a person or a community. You may be familiar with things such as cyberbullying, haters, antis and many more. As a mental illness patient, I get sensitive about these topics. Because social media is full of things that can make me paranoid. I keep comparing myself to other people by their posts.

Here are the impacts of block, unfollow and unsubscribing due to my mental health:

# 1 Limits my overthinking

There is a quote that I always said for these: “You cannot control what people say but you can control what you want to take to heart”. When it comes to social media contents, I notice there are many hates there simply what I did just block, unfollow and unsubscribe because I don’t want to overthink those things cause that’s bad for my mental health.

# 2 Comfort me sometimes

When I was down, I usually scroll over my threads because with threads, I have unfollowed, unsubscribe and blocked anything that I don’t want to take it to heart or simply negative things. It’s all because I want to feel stronger and motivated, that’s why I only keep the positive ones and the accounts that can motivate me more!

#3 Motivate, increase productivity, and enlighten me.

What do you want to feel when opening social media? Do you want to feel insecure by everyone’s success? Or do you want to feel enlightened, motivated, and more productive?

Blocking, unfollow and unsubscribe makes me rethink my proposal when opening social media that I want to be able to laugh, to be more productive and enlighten not be insecure by everyone’s success or outraged because of the hate.

What other Impact that you experience after block, unfollow, and unsubscribe? Be sure to let me know in the comments.

You can participate by saying or sending a "Hello" message to at least 10 contacts or people you meet. The Brief History of World Hello Day As reported by detik.com, World Hello Day originated as a response to the conflict between Egypt and Israel known as the Yom Kippur War. World Hello Day reminds us that communication is better than war. World Hello Day was initiated by the McCormack brothers: Brian McCormack and Michel McCormack, who started a peace campaign.

The word "hello" itself has been around since 1827. The word commonly used when answering the telephone was not actually recommended by the i...

3 Reasons Why I Chose Amsterdam as the Setting for Double Minority Hanna

 As many of you may already know from reading my novel Double Minority Hanna , I previously shared the inspiration behind the story, which comes from personal experiences and my community. In this article, I want to delve into why I chose Amsterdam as the setting for Double Minority Hanna and how it plays a vital role in Hanna’s journey. 1. Mental Health Support and Recovery Environment in Amsterdam One of the key reasons I chose Amsterdam is its robust mental health support system and recovery-friendly environment. The city is home to communities, organizations, and a cultural attitude that promotes a positive outlook on mental illness. This is why Hanna, following her brother's suggestion, moves to Amsterdam. The environment contrasts sharply with that of Indonesia, where mental health stigma is prevalent and mental illness is often misunderstood as violence or weakness. In Amsterdam, Hanna finds fewer people willing to bully her, thanks to the city's more progressive stance...

The Crucial Role of Physical Health in Mental Illness Recovery

  As you all know, I've recently begun a regular workout routine, starting with just 5 minutes of exercise each day. This is my update on how it's been going and the significant impact it has had on my mental health. For a long time, my doctor has advised me to exercise, but I have always found myself being lazy and putting it off. Exercise seemed like a daunting task, especially when struggling with the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. The idea of getting up and moving felt overwhelming, and I was skeptical about how much a simple workout could actually help. However, as time passed, I realized just how right my doctor was! Once I started working out, my mood improved significantly, and I felt much more stable. Remarkably, my symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia have diminished, even after my doctor reduced my nighttime medication from 400 to 300 milligrams. This reduction in medication was a milestone for me, and I believe that my commitment to physical activity played a cru...
