I want to deactivate Facebook for a little while, but?

[SaintClair59]

I have been going through depression for a while now, and I really want to temporarily deactivate my Facebook account until things get better. However, I have mentioned it to a few people I know, and they don't want me to. What should I do?

Just stop using it, you dont have to deactivate it but you also do not have to log in.

Suck it up lead your battles stay strong and stride for what you want don't listen to anyone never be a puppet.

If your sure go under options.

Deactivate it for a bit and tell your friends it's what you want and it will help to clear your mind.
Then when you start feeling a bit better, you can log in with the same E-mail and password and your account will still be there.

Tell your friends that you feel like it's something you need to do. And that when you are feeling up to it you will activate it again.

Explain to your friends about your situation, I'm sure they will understand.
I think it's best that you deactivate it for a while until you feel better then log in again when you feel the time is right. Best of luck.

I'm going through the same situation too with my Facebook and I just deactivated it. In the end, its YOUR Facebook account, not your friends and you have to do what you feel is right. Just deactivate it and whenever you feel tempted to log on again while you feel this way tell yourself no and get busy with something else. I don't know if you go to school or work but, get more involved in your school work or job and get more hours. Go hang with friends even. It will help ease your pain.
