In her May 2024 post titled “What I’ve Learned Taking A Break from Instagram,” Buttermore said stepping away from social media dramatically improved her mental well-being. “My mental health has been the best it’s ever been,” she wrote, explaining that she had previously struggled with severe anxiety. According to the influencer, the anxiety had once become so overwhelming that she felt unable to leave her home. “I no longer struggle with anxiety. At all,” she wrote, adding that she had once experienced “almost crippling” panic episodes. Buttermore further elaborated that distancing herself from social media helped eliminate the constant pressure to measure self-worth through likes or comments. “I’m living in a judgment free space and it’s peaceful here,” she wrote. She acknowledged that social media also had some “negative” aspects. She said she missed interacting with her online community, explaining that the platform had allowed her to connect with friends, learn from others and stay motivated. She, however, admitted that, “Overall the pros have outweighed the cons for me. Sometimes I still feel a void in my day-to-day life from being so removed from this app, but the positives from taking this break has been worth it.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Stephanie Buttermore, Ph.D. (@stephanie_buttermore) Read more: 47-year-old official and influencer dies after horse riding fall during shootLiving more in the moment
Buttermore also wrote that leaving social media made her more present in her day-to-day life. She described spending more meaningful time with loved ones, including her partner Nippard, and focusing on real-world experiences rather than documenting them online. “When I’m with my family or Jeff, I’m much more immersed in the moment,” she wrote, explaining that she had stopped checking notifications while spending time with others. On Nippard's accounts, fans continued to catch glimpses of Buttermore; the most current was from two weeks prior to her passing. "Relationshipmaxxing with tea time to lower cortisol levels" is the caption for the picture, which features the couple snuggling while sitting on a couch. "Love you forever," Buttermore said in a comment on the post. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Shirin Gupta Shirin Gupta is a content producer with the Hindustan Times.
