I remember when social media FIRST became a thing. My dad (a wise dude) told me that "this constant communication is not something we are wired for -- ants in a colony need this, we don't!"
And honestly I try to recall his words when I'm dealing with all my communication media. I have eight messaging apps. EIGHTTTTTTT (this does not include email). I have to treat myself well to carry on in a healthy way, so I ignore what messages I can most of the time. Does this work well? No. Am I doing the best I can with what I have? Yes. And that's all I can give the world.
