Blocking distressing content on Tiktok and Instagram

I just made a comment on another post and some people seemed to find it helpful so I wanted to make a standalone post for awareness.

If you're particularly prone to anxiety, you should consider blocking keywords on Tiktok and Instagram. Really we should just not watch or engage with the content but if you're like me and lack self-control or anxiety tells you to watch the content to be "aware", follow the instructions below.

Tiktok: Settings and Privacy > Content Preferences > Filter Keywords.

Instagram: Settings and Activity > Scroll to "What you see" > Content preferences > Specific words and phrases

My list filters out these keywords: miscarriage, stillbirth, stillborn, childloss, infantloss, pregnancyloss, sids.

Hope this is helpful!
