SUMMARY - Social Media & Mental Health
A woman with depression finds a community on Twitter where people share their experiences openly, the connection making her feel less alone at 3 a.m. when everything feels impossible. She has found understanding online that she cannot find in her offline life. A man compares his life to the curated successes he sees on LinkedIn, his own accomplishments feeling inadequate against the highlight reels of colleagues. The comparison erodes his satisfaction with a career that was fulfilling until he saw what everyone else was doing.
