Spending time on social media platforms like Twitter, ProductHunt, and IndieHacker can often have negative effects on mental health, as seeing others' successes and high earnings can cause feelings of toxic jealousy and comparison.

To improve mental health, it may be beneficial for the author to reduce their time on these platforms and focus on practical tasks such as talking to customers, finding new customers, and developing their product. These actions can lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life.

If the author feels that quitting these social media platforms entirely is the best decision for their mental health, that is a valid choice. Alternatively, the author may find it more mentally healthy to transition from being a solo entrepreneur to an employee with a stable monthly paycheck. Ultimately, the goal is to find a path that leads to greater happiness and well-being.
