Every polygyny story on social media makes me anxious even though my marriage is good. What should I do?

What you see on screen is a fragment of other people's lives deliberately put on display, not a measure of your marriage. Social media feeds anxiety by comparing your real life with selected displays. Limit the time you spend watching content that triggers anxiety, and unfollow accounts that leave you feeling uneasy. Shift your attention to the real relationship at home: talk to your husband about your feelings once, rather than bottling them up. Fill your time with worship and practices that calm the heart. Your marriage is built on your daily reality, not on other people's viral headlines. See mental health.
