The pandemic sucks! I work and I come home and don’t do much else. I’ve been feeling increasingly isolated from my friends and peers, thus have been entertaining the idea of recreating an Instagram account for the first time since I deleted in 2019. I deleted Instagram because the app was causing me so much anxiety; I was going through a tumultuous period in my life and felt incredibly sensitive to the perception of others. 

Any thoughts? Advice? Tips? Is it worth it? I text and call my friends and in a way prefer the intimacy of 1-on-1 interactions (as opposed to large broadcasting), but, again, I feel isolated and want to see what everyone is up to. My concern is that it will negatively impact my mental health and increase my already heightened levels of anxiety.
