Ep26: The Benefits of Unplugging From Social Media for ADHD Parents

I have a love-hate relationship with social media. I love connecting with my audience and sharing my life in hopes of inspiring and helping other people with parenting and ADHD. But… I hate that I often compare myself to influencers who have a seemingly perfect life. I never want to show up on social media with a highlight reel. You get my good, bad, and ugly. 

 

I’ve been unplugging from social media more often lately for my mental health. After baby #2, I decided I needed to be present for my child, and I unplugged for about three weeks. It was so great to spend undistracted time with my new baby and my 2-year-old. I didn’t feel the pressure I often do to post something on Instagram and it was amazing.

 

After listening to this episode, I hope you feel inspired to take some time off social media. It has so many benefits to your mental health and can help reduce ADHD symptoms.
