Social Media Addiction
Storyboard Text
- Hey buddy, I think you need a break from social media
- Why?
- Social media can do that? How?
- I think you have an addiction to social media. You're not sleeping well, your school work is falling behind, and you seem to be distancing yourself from your friends.
- Bingo.
- So I always have to use social media in order to stay happy?
- It stimulates the brain's reward center constantly, sending a happy chemical called dopamine straight into your system.
- So how do I know when I'm getting addicted to social media?
- You'll notice that you're oversharing what you're doing, obsessing over others, in a bad mood when you can't access social media, you're getting bad sleep, and you're feeling anxious or depressed.
- How do I fix my social media addiction?
- The easiest way is to delete your social media apps. You can also go to talk therapy and sometimes the doctors will prescribe medication.
- I'm going to teach you how to use social media safely. That means we can set timers, practice living in the moment, build self confidence, and deliberately stay away from apps that stress you out.
- That sounds a lot better than dealing with it by myself.
