Social media and mobile addiction

@sensitiveSailboat

Hello there, firstly a big warm hug for speaking up, it's so very hard to deal with addiction, in the recent pandemic times, being confined to our homes, limited activity around, most of the stuff be it online courses or shopping being on the internet, in the simple layout , and easily available on our phones, it's so very understandable to develop an addiction with the devices we are using so very frequently. You're definitely not alone with experiencing that .

Feeling anxious in social situations can be hard, and having to use phone as a distraction and to keep yourself company with games and watching series , is again very much understandable .

I do commend you in accepting your addiction and seeking help for it , that's a brave thing to do , accepting what we want to let go and move on from is certainly the first step and I am glad ,you've taken it .

Now just like this, small steps each day, if you do realise some apps maybe taking more of your attention, how do you feel can you prevent it ? Do you feel it will be great to have some time to do other things ? What are somethings you'd like to do with the spare time in hand left from not using phone much?

you're right on ,in the idea that, finding new things to divert your mind to, could maybe helpful in not relying solely on phone . Just like this,one step at a time, it might be a long journey, but you've begun already and it matters alot...best wishes always ♥️
