Courtney Hope takes a social media break to focus on mental health

The Young and the Restless actress Courtney Hope has been pretty low-key on social media lately. However, she recently posted on Instagram to let everyone know she just needed a little break from the online world. She shared:

"I haven’t been posting as much, because a lot of people have asked me where I’ve been on social media. We each go through different seasons of our lives, and this season for me has been a lot about head down, nose to the grindstone working and really nourishing the relationships around me and with myself."

Hope decided to only spend 15 minutes a day on social media. She's been taking some time to reflect and spend less time online, which has helped her concentrate on her mental health, connections with others, and what she wants to achieve in the future.
