Are you under digital distress? 3 ways tech-triggers may be affecting your mental health

Mental Health Week, which runs from May 1 to 7, provides an opportunity to reflect on our collective well-being.

Key Points: 
  • Mental Health Week, which runs from May 1 to 7, provides an opportunity to reflect on our collective well-being.
  • In addition to rising mental health issues, there seems to be a general malaise across normally well individuals in society.
  • Here are three main types of tech-triggers and their corresponding effects to consider if this is affecting you.

Pop-ups & prompts — I’m lost!

    • Frequent disruptions put us on high alert like a jack-in-the-box, triggering a release of adrenaline, norepinephrine and cortisol.
    • Prompts for our username and password can be the ultimate trigger.
    • With too many pop-ups and prompts, we may be in constant fight or flight mode.

Digital clutter — I’m failing!

    • Digital clutter creates a slow-burn of deep-seated awareness that there is too much to manage, and we’re failing at it.
    • Unclearable email queues, cluttered digital folders and our inability to complete tech-tasks (like printing photos or deleting old drafts) can create a psychological state of failure.
    • Organizing and decluttering is our way of feeling in control, but sometimes there is just so much to manage.

Cyber insecurity — I’m afraid!

    • A third tech-trigger is caused by apprehensions about our cyber-security and how safe our digital information really is.
    • Although online shopping and banking seems secure, there can be a sneaking suspicion that our credit card and financial information are not as protected as we’re told.
    • We manage this fear with a few clicks, or perhaps with a purchase that restores our sense of control.

What can we do about it?

    • Many of these interactions are embedded in our work and lifestyles and yet, our bodies and minds are telling us this isn’t right.
    • If so, awareness is a start, and can help us better manage the situation and regulate our responses.
    • Turn them off (or better yet, set a time to turn off your devices) and see if you feel more calm.
    • Small, proactive countermeasures can increase our self-efficacy in a way that will reduce our digital distress and make us feel more empowered over our mental health.
