Hi All.... I feel anxious almost all the time, and then I keep using my phone it's a good distraction but not something I want anymore. I just want to use my phone once or twice a day and only for calls. But I start feeling anxious for some unknown reason and I again start using my phone no matter how much I try to stay away from it....any suggestions to my problem?

hi! it sounds like you feel anxious quite often, and you feel your phone isn't a distraction you want to use anymore, which is completely understandable! this was posted a while ago, so how is everything now? were you able to find any other coping methods? you're doing awesome! Red heart (also, i moved your post to the 'share your story/how are you feeling right now' subforum because it's more relevant to your post!)

Hi @EmmaE....yes...I am doing good now....I switched to limiting my phone use and then doing some other activities in the time gap....for example read a book or talk to a in-house family member or video call friends . I also started with a technical course to use as substitute some time spent on phone....so I guess this way by increasing the number of activities I do regularly I could cope quite well :) Thanks....❤
