Being sad is a temporary state. But being unhappy is like a tree. It grows over the course of time and becomes big and massive.
As Barney Stinson quotes, you can “..always stop being sad and be awesome instead”.

Fix: Ok. You don’t have to uninstall your apps and go back through a horrible 4 hour or less time. And then hop back installing Instagram-WhatsApp-facebook-and-Snapchat in the same speed and order.
Instead, put all of your social media apps in a single folder. Now put this Folder in a less accessible screen of your device.

It might take you some time to get used to this but trust me. It will help in the longer run.
4) You set up unrealistic goals/ No goals at all
