Are you on Facebook or other social media? If not, why do you choose not to participate? If you are, how do you think it affects you and your bipolar symptoms? Is it a trigger for you?

Personally I am on Facebook and Instagram currently, but I have deactivated my Facebook account numerous times because it was just too much for me or led me to make bad decisions. I always end up messaging the wrong person...saying the wrong things. In many ways I think Facebook is a terrible place. Sort of a breeding ground for gossip and negative stuff in general. But when you're at home alone every day it can be a relief from loneliness. Some big pros and cons to it. What do you guys think?
