I QUIT Facebook today!!! Yay!!! Oi!, the withdrawal

It took a few days but I quit Facebook today. I closed out my groups. I passed a group to another person. I deleted a lot of pictures and likes, unfriended a lot of friends, and said my good byes. It was like going through a twelve step process with Alcoholics Anonymous. Facebook Anonymous. That's what it should be called. 

There was a lot of crap happening on FB and I got tired of the crap. Sexual predators, sexual role players, cliques, bullying, etc... It was too much. 

As I was going through the process I could feel myself getting riled up. Many people asked me why I was leaving and I had to repeat myself. I tried to post on groups and explain why to limit the amount of times I repeated myself. Today I posted the last good byes. I closed out my scouting troop. Then I posted a please exit the premises by 2:00pm in my Sherlock group. As peoples started saying their good byes the group got a reprieve. A fb friend took over the group. I'm glad. I had asked in all my groups if anyone wanted to take over. No one stepped up. This person did at the last minute. 

The whole process has left me stressed. I don't doubt my BP is slightly elevated. It'll get better soon. I wanted to be done with fb by tomorrow. 

I still have other social media so I not back to late 20th century standards. 

Medication taken today: .5mg Xanax 20mg Lexapro 240mg(?) Verapamil ER, and my statin. I took all my Rx today.
