MODULE 16 — Digital Wellbeing & Mental Health Online

Deep dive into doomscrolling, algorithms, body image, comments, and your mental health – in a fun, interactive way.

✨ Welcome to Digital Wellbeing

Your phone is powerful. It can help you learn, connect, laugh and grow – but it can also drain your energy, confidence and mood if you’re not careful.

In this module you will:
  • Understand how apps and algorithms pull you in
  • Learn to spot body-image tricks and fake perfection
  • Break down hurtful comments and protect your self-worth
  • Use tools to reset your brain when you feel overloaded
  • Practice responses to real-life online scenarios

Think of this as a mental gym session for your online life. 🧠🏋️‍♂️

📱 Doomscrolling, Comparison & Addiction

Doomscrolling = endlessly scrolling bad news, drama, or negativity.

Comparison scrolling = “Everyone’s life looks better than mine.”

Online addiction = you feel uncomfortable if you’re not checking something.

Why this burns your brain
  • Your brain constantly scans for danger. Negative feeds keep it in “threat mode”.
  • Comparison tricks you into believing you are “behind” in life.
  • Notification loops drip-feed dopamine, making you crave the next hit.

Result: tired eyes, racing mind, poor sleep, low mood, and feeling “never enough”.

🤖 Algorithm Simulator

Your feed isn’t random. It’s a mirror of what you interact with most. Tap what you mainly engage with and see how your digital world changes.

Choose one above to see how your algorithm reshapes your mood.

🪞 The Confidence Mirror

Tap a thought you’ve had before. Then read the reframe underneath.

“I don’t look as good as people online.”
You’re comparing your everyday face to someone’s filtered, posed, perfectly lit and edited highlight reel. You only ever see their “best 1%”.
“Everyone else has their life together except me.”
People post their wins, not their breakdowns, overdrafts, arguments or lonely nights. Your feed is a billboard, not a diary.
“If my post doesn’t get likes, I’m boring.”
The algorithm decides what’s seen – not your worth. Some of the most incredible people on earth are invisible online.

Kids & Teens Version 🌈

Filters = magic stickers. Nobody looks like a filter all the time. You are not supposed to be perfect – you are supposed to be real.

💬 Hurtful Comment Disassembler

Tap a comment to break it into pieces and steal its power.

“You look weird in this.”
  • They typed this in seconds. You are living inside your body for life.
  • It usually says more about their boredom, jealousy or insecurity.
  • You can delete, block, mute and walk away. That is power.
“No one cares what you post.”
  • They cared enough to comment – contradiction already.
  • Your value is never measured in likes, comments or follows.
  • This is online litter. You’re allowed to bin it.
Rule: You are not required to keep abuse on your page to look “tough”. Protecting your peace is strength, not weakness.

🚨 Red-Flag Signs Your Online Life Is Hurting You

Tap each sign to learn what it means.

Tight chest and racing thoughts after scrolling
Your threat system is triggered. Your brain can’t tell the difference between online chaos and real-life danger – it reacts as if you’re under attack.
Feeling “not good enough” almost every time you go online
Constant comparison is shrinking your self-worth. Your brain is being trained to see yourself as “less than” by unrealistic standards.
Phantom vibrations / hearing “ghost notifications”
Your nervous system is hyper-tuned to your phone. This is a sign of digital overload and anxiety, not “you being crazy”.
Mood crashes after stalking certain pages or people
Your brain is learning that “checking them = feeling bad”. Those accounts are mental poison. It’s okay to mute or block for your sanity.

🛡️ Body Image Protection Tools

Use these tools whenever social media makes you feel less than.

Tool 1 – The “Zoom Out” Lens
Remember: you’re seeing one second of someone’s day, captured from the best angle, in the best light, after 20 failed takes.
Tool 2 – Filter Detector
If skin looks plastic-smooth, eyes are too bright or the background warps around curves, it’s edited. You’re comparing yourself to a cartoon.
Tool 3 – Real-Life Anchor
Look at real people in your life – in shops, at school, at work. That is what humans really look like.
Scenario: A waist looks extremely tiny and the door frame curves next to it. Edited or real?
