I had deactivated my Instagram and Facebook for a long time because it didn't serve me anymore and I wanted to focus on myself without looking at what everyone else was doing.

Well recently I've been feeling so good, I hadn't had an anxiety or panic attack in several weeks now, so I decided I'd active the accounts again.

Terrible idea. Just a couple hours later after going through my feed and seeing stupid shit people post, everyone putting put their opinions regarding stuff like covid, I thought I felt a panic attack coming on. It didn't happen because I closed the apps, took deep breaths and tried to refocus my attention. But I'm still feeling anxiety run through my body. 

Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this with social media?
