Example Usage
“I’m feeling overwhelmed by social media. I check Instagram constantly throughout the day - probably every 15-20 minutes - and it’s affecting my sleep because I’m scrolling until 1 AM. But what really bothers me is comparing myself to fitness influencers and feeling inadequate about my body. I also have this anxiety that I’m missing events or inside jokes with friends. Can you create a comprehensive plan to help me reclaim my relationship with social media?”
