It was headlined, \u201cWhat I\u2019ve Learned Taking A Break from Instagram.\u201d\u2800\u2800\u2800\u201cI\u2019ve been pretty MIA on social media all year, but I\u2019ve taken some pretty valuable things away from it. Some things are positive, some also negative. So I\u2019m not here just to bash IG\u201d she wrote. She then listed the positives and negatives of taking a break from her socials. \u201cPositive. My mental health has been the best it\u2019s ever been, but I\u2019ll give you some specifics. I no longer struggle with anxiety. At all. It was almost crippling a few years ago to the point I felt I couldn\u2019t breathe or leave my house,\u201d she wrote. Adding that she\u2019s \u201cliving in a judgment free space,\u201d Buttermore wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s peaceful here.\u201dButtermore had some negative aspects of leaving social media too. \u201cNegative. I miss my social media friends and community. So not only did I not post, I also didn\u2019t consume any content on IG. I opened the app maybe once a month and tbh I genuinely missed seeing what my friends were up to,\u201d she wrote. Adding that social media can be \u201ctoxic,\u201d but, she also found it to be an \u201camazing place to connect, learn, get motivated, and make friends.\u201dHer final Instagram post gives the idea that the fitness influencer felt her mental health got better once she left social media. <\/p>\n<p>Stephanie Buttermore and Jeff Nippard<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie Buttermore was the fianc\u00e9e of bodybuilder Jeff Nippard.
