I make videos on Tik Tok to motivate and help people out when they are having a bad day.Does Tik tok help you when sad?

Scrolling can make you feel good but I think it makes you feel good like smoking a cigarette makes you feel good. Like the cigarette is bad for you, but it makes you feel good temporarily. Cigarettes are addictive, and scrolling is addicive too. You might reach for tiktok or instagram when feeling anxious, stressed, or sad, just like a smoker reaches for a cigarette. Cigarettes are bad for your lungs while scrolling is bad for your mind. It can make you feel worse over time, ruin your attention span, and make think less. Scrolling short form content works for your brain the way slot machines do. Right now, gambling is a medically recongized addiction and I think its only a matter of time before phone addiction is also offically recognized. So scrolling "helps" me when I'm sad but ultimately makes my mental health worse. But it's hard to quit, just like cigarettes and gambling, because its addictive.
