Studies have shown that frequent use of LinkedIn is associated with increased depression and anxiety.

​

LinkedIn really creates that fear of missing out. You feel pressurised to post something in case you’re forgotten and it’s just not sustainable IMHO.

​

Plus there is so much content that can have a negative impact on your mental health including:

​

• Toxic positivity posts
• Humble brags
• Look at me selfies
• Vanity metric showoffs
• Burnout braggers etc

​

And spending too much time on LinkedIn isn't good for your mental health either.

​

Don't become a LinkedIn addict. Get a life!

​

And if you need a break, have one. You don't need to justify yourself either.

​

Please put your mental health first:

​

• Post when you can
• Build a supportive network
• Cultivate a feel-good feed

​

How does LinkedIn make you feel?
