I have mixed feelings about facebook. A few years ago I got overwhelmed by it and deleted my account. Then I missed it a little and made up a new one. I like it for keeping pictures in one place because I always end up losing pictures that I take on different phones over the years. Even if I make the pictures private so that only I can see it, it's like a photo book for me that way. I also need it to know what is going on with my daughter's girl scout troop because they have a private group on there. For things like that I find it useful.

In other ways I hate it. It's hard to see all the amazing things people are doing when you yourself find it really difficult just to get out of bed or get showered or put on anything but pajama pants. It's not inspiring, it just makes me feel like crap. Another thing I can't stand is the political crap that people post, especially my own mother, who is on the opposite side of me. I swear she puts some of that stuff there just to get to me.

The times I try to use it for something I believe in, like posting an interesting article about something mental-illness or health related, I feel hurt when nobody gives a damn.

I think it is good for some things and really hurtful for others.
