    You’re an addict, but you just don’t know it yet.

    This month, BBC Future is exploring social media’s impact on mental health and well-being, and you can bet those stories are going to push a few buttons.

    Ever caught yourself scrolling through social media whilst at a robot? Ever felt shitty because your picture didn’t quite rack up the likes you thought it would?

    Oh dear – you might just have a serious problem on your hands.

    We’ll tee this one up from the BBC story:

    Social media addiction has been a much-flouted term lately; maybe it’s because it’s January and users are looking to be more active and spend less time online, or maybe that’s because social media can have a negative impact on our mental well-being. But a growing body of research is seriously considering whether problematic and excessive social media usage could be pathological and, in turn, designated as a mental health disorder.

    To the video we go:

    Think you spend a lot of time on social media? Then you better watch this… #LikeMinded pic.twitter.com/9DPFIpMdC2

    Step back from the screen.

    Pat a dog. Stroke a cat. Hug a friend. Shame a neighbour for watering their garden. Stop posting crummy travel quotes to Instagram and using the hashtag #wanderlust.

    And be warned, influencers, not everyone is a big fan.
