@op you are f***ed. nothing more to do but anticipate the end

pit the phone down and do the other things

when u wanna pick the phone up, instead journal stream of consciousness style until you're tired of that. then journal about why you're tired of that. go for a long walk wit a camera, no phone camera. take a book too maybe, any book. break a sweat somehow, any way. journal about how all that felt. congratulate yourself for the first steps. etc. get home and make a cup of tea and then don't get online and tell people about it. be content with a simple life, breathing deeply. get on the ground and stretch. clean the house. and so on

Find a hobby or something to work towards. Only thing I look at scrolling is cats. I would much rather draw on my iPad than use social media. ktt2 is the exception because its a great arts community where I learn a lot.

real as always. i'll try doing more of this

Touch grass

I’ve done this a few times and can say it only helps if this is the only social media you use. Also ktt2 has a feature that lets you deactivate your account for a bit without a ban

In my experience you have to take some time to get to know yourself deeper, which is difficult if you’re distracting your brain with doomscrolling. Eventually you’ll uncover your true interests, skills and passions and you apply it from there

This just sounds like someone using the internet as intended

I thought you were going to go off about lolcow wormholes like obsessing over that Joshua block guy, esp due to the timing of this post

It’s all NPC s*** bro. Everything

i mean like spend a full day outside. Like work/read at a coffee shop or park. Where you'll less likely be on your phone.

You could try to get rid of your phone and replace it with an Apple or Android Watch.

the trick is to actually start doing the other things you wanna do
