Key Takeaways

- She shared a photo from a tranquil, picturesque location.
- Thiebaud’s post is a reminder that it’s good to take time away from social media.
Going On a Break
Thiebaud (who has laughed at the struggle of getting back into work mode) is normally active on social media. The actress often shares her life, her travels, and behind-the-scenes fun on GH. However, being on social media can lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, and fear, especially with all that’s going on in the world.
Sometimes, it’s good to step away from social media and technology altogether. Thiebaud knew exactly how to do it. She escaped the world by immersing herself in nature.
On January 26, she shared a selfie from her hike on her Instagram Story. She announced that she’s “taking a little break” from social media. In the photo, the GH star gave the peace sign while holding a rolled-up piece of paper.
“Taking a little break from this place. I’ll hop on periodically to check my messages, but if you need me, text me! Love you all,” Thiebaud shared, acknowledging her friends and family, who could wonder why she’s not posting as much as normal.
Britt Attracts Attention on General Hospital
Thiebaud’s announcement comes as Britt attracted unwanted attention on General Hospital. Lucas (Van Hansis) discovered Britt and Marco (Adrian Anchondo) together at Wyndemere. He may not have bought their excuse.
Meanwhile, Jason (Steve Burton) has been concerned about Britt. As for Thiebaud, she doesn’t want her loved ones to worry about her while she’s gone. Just because she’s taking a break from social media doesn’t necessarily mean she’s going off the grid.
Thiebaud didn’t share why she’s taking a social media break. But it’s a good reminder that we all need. Sometimes, it can be hard to tear ourselves away from social media and our phones.
Social media also becomes a place where there’s so much negativity. That alone can take a toll on one’s mental health. But a regular break can boost one’s mental health and emotional well-being.
