feels like it for me. My mood is oscillating way too frequently in a way that I can in my heart tie to what I see on social media. Want to know if anyone’s having a similar experience if you’re a resident of the sites or if I need to go talk to my psychiatrist.
It’s possible to train an algorithm to be maladaptive and then it would end up reinforcing harmful behavior. I think I’ve experienced what you’re talking about.
It’s scary to start out with an empty cup again. We tend to cling onto what we’ve already got, for various reasons, a therapist could help you discover what the reason behind your struggles is. Once you know then you can address it more easily. Otherwise you’re just taking stabs in the dark or you might be going off by false assumptions. Another benefit from therapy is that unlike a friend the therapist is dethatched from you and is just there to help you out hopefully. Often the things that we need to hear, in order to improve, are painful unfortunately :/
