IIs taking social media/forum/chat breaks healthy?

[Crimsyjo]

I think I feel drained and over stretched with too many interactions and conversations ŕight now. I'm thinking of taking a break from online activity for like a week. Or at least few days. Do you think this is healthy?

Ok I'm signing off and out for a bit.

[Nikki1989]

I work 50–60 hours, plus going out at least one night a week, so that is when I have my breaks. Being on here all day, every day, would end up depressing very quickly.

[Daniela1982]

It's unhealthy NOT to take breaks in my opinion. Spend too much time on anything, and it makes you a zombie, craving it.

[Berethor]

Well GAG is not very active anyway unlike in the past, so you not need a break from it.

[Crimsyjo]

I get a lot of DMs. And there's always interesting questions that keep drawing me in even tho I say I'm putting my phone away now!

[Berethor]

I don't find many interesting questions, I ignore many, but if you do then good. :)

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Your answer is in the question Crimsy ;)
See you later then, enjoy the break !

[Crimsyjo]

Short break haha. I'm at work and not much to do so I have popped back. But i still intend to cut down when at home. Already I felt better for it yesterday.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I also had this impression that the break was quite short yes. My feminine intuition, most certainly. Good, have fun :]

[getpucksin]

Yes everyone who does that says they feel better after

[Crimsyjo]

I think I'm going to start. After work today. Just kinda wanted to let my friends here know but gag makes u phrase a post as a question lol

[woahhh152]

Oh yeah, it's really healthy. Don't be on social media for around 4 to 5 days and you'll notice the difference

[Crimsyjo]

Yh I need that. Tho I also find it relaxes and distracts me. But I think I need to deal with some things and not use it as a crutch to hide from dealing with those things *sigh*

[woahhh152]

I agree with you

[woahhh152]

No worries. Be safe!

Try living in the real world for as long as you can.

[bananathunder]

I do sometimes but I always come back lol

[Crimsyjo]

I think I managed maybe 20 hours lol. It was good. I will do it again. Even short breaks are helpful

[bananathunder]

well I can do that long. I try to stay off most weekends lol

[scott04sa22]

Yes, take a break is good

[scott04sa22]

K...

[MicahRaine]

Taking breaks now and then is healthy.

[msc545]

Probably a good idea.

[In_Trance]

what about real life, face to face interactions?

[Bklynbadboy12]

I guess if that what you need
