She's only nineteen years old, what am I doing with my life?

I hope I'm going to be invited to the wedding.

Welcome to the internal monologue of a typical social media scroll.

A monologue that so many of us have every day,

but we don't think about it, we don't talk about it.

In fact, many of us can't even recognize it happening.

and I will discuss the unintended consequences

social media is having on your mental health.

I will show you what's stressing you out every day,

and how you can craft a better experience for yourself online.

my sister and I took a four-day vacation to Jasper, Alberta.

This was the first no-work vacation I had taken in four years.

I was turning on airplane mode, no email and no social media.

I was still experiencing phantom vibration syndrome.

That's where you think your phone went off,

I was seeing these gorgeous sights Jasper had to offer,

and my first reaction was to take out my phone

but I hadn't been completely disconnected in over four years.

This was practically a new experience again.

It wasn't until the fourth day I was there

that I was finally comfortable without my phone.

I was sitting with my sister, literally on the side of this mountain,

That was only four days, and it was anxiety-inducing,

it was stressful and it resulted in withdrawals.

and have since started my master's research into this subject.

I've worked in social marketing primarily in higher education

That means I work with a lot of 18- to 24-year-olds,

the most active demographic on social media.

The other thing you need to know about me

is that I'm young enough to have grown up with social media,

but just old enough to be able to critically engage with it

in a way that twelve-year-old me probably couldn't.

My life is social media: personally, professionally and academically.

If it was doing this to me, what was it doing to everyone else?

The center for collegiate mental health found that the top three diagnoses

on University campuses are anxiety, depression and stress.

Numerous studies from the US, Canada, the UK, you name it,

with these high levels of anxiety and depression.

But the scary thing is that high social media use

90% of 18- to 29-year-olds are on social media.

We spend on average two hours a day there.

70% of the Canadian population is on social media.

Anything we do this often is worthy of critical observation.

Anything we spend this much time doing has lasting effects on us.

to four of the most common stressors on social media,

have potential to become full-blown mental health issues,

and this is by no means an exhaustive list.

the highlight reel is a collection of the best and brightest moments.

Social media is our personal highlight reel.

It's where we put up our wins, or when we look great,

or when we are out with friends and family.

We are constantly comparing ourselves to others.

Yes, this was happening before social media,

but now it's happening all the time, and it's directly linked to you.

A perfect example I came across in preparation for this talk

Why am I just sitting here in my PJ's watching Netflix?
