Hey @goldwing03
Social media really is a mixed bag when it comes to mental health content isn't it? I've found some really helpful information on TikTok that has really helped me and actually ended up giving me the validation I needed to go get an ADHD diagnosis - turns out my TikTok algorithm was spot on! But then like you say, there's a whole other side that just shares misinformation for the sake of more likes which is really disappointing.
And totally agree about the whole toxic productivity that social media pushes so much! It's really difficult sometimes viewing people and their seemingly 'perfect' lives on social media and comparing yourself. It's definitely good to remember their posts/videos are just a verrrryyy short snippet of their life and we never really know what's going on after the camera is switched off. And tbh, I think a lot of people who feel the need to share how great their life is all the time, tend to be people that aren't actually very happy in reality.
Great to hear that the information helped a bit too. We have an article all about BPD as well that might help you understand and be able to support your friends more too 😊
