When you're feeling down, make a post (not story) on Instagram. Your friends usually like your post when they see it, and you get a notification every time a person does it, kind of like telling you "you're doing great"! On the other hand, when you post a story, people usually don't reply to people's story unless it's really good, making you feel sad because you think your content is not that great.
Or maybe just call someone, idk.
