Photo 9 = Distraction
Last one in the depression series (I hope) and this is the need for distraction.
Whilst I am unable to determine whether heavy online use causes depression, or if depressed people are drawn to online activity.
All I know is that a mobile phone just makes it easier for you to stay connected to the world, to stay in touch with things that one should really avoid as a means of protecting your mental health.
When one is feeling depressed or having a bout of anxiety attacks, the constant checking of social media apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Grindr etc really play on your mind, you tend read into every situation and for the wrong reasons.
As hard as it is, there comes a time when you need to simply just turn it off!
