activist OCD? tw: mentions of g-cide
so, i use my social media as a way to share posts such as mutual aid and people in urgent situations like the many countries that are facing bombardment/genocide. but i haven’t been on social media in a handful of days because the amount of people reaching out to me has become overwhelming. originally i took a break from social media for another stressor, but not that has been resolved yet i still don’t feel ready to go back on social media (specifically instagram). i still help in other ways like staying aware, boycotting, doing daily clicks, engaging with videos on other platforms, etc. basically i just don’t feel ready to go back online but i feel selfish because it’s such a privilege to be able to just shut it off when other people are LIVING IT!! but also at the same time, i don’t want to go online when i am in a bad mental state and then become burnt out and not be able to help people. has anyone else dealt with anything similar to this?
