I find myself spending way more time than I'd like scrolling this site, Reddit, Twitter, etc. I want to limit my digital use to bare necessities, but when I'm mentally exhausted (poor sleep, after work, etc.) it's kind of all I have the energy to do.
I feel like doing literally nothing, getting lost in my thoughts can be even MORE tiring than using the internet lol. Maybe that's normal, or maybe it's like my depressive/anxious brain refusing to shut off or be nice.
Anyway, if you weren't spending your time online, how would you shut your brain off and unwind?
I've tried using some different apps that lock my youtube or reddit off after a certain point but honestly if I want to use them enough I'll just log in on another device or whatever.
Something I have found helps is just making my browsing experience shittier and shittier until it's annoying more than fun.
For example I just logged myself off reddit and changed my password to something I immediately forgot . Now when I go to reddit it's the shitty default subreddits and the awful default UI. The first 50 posts are all either about Ukraine or just videos of poor people fighting in McDonald's. Now I hate it enough to never go there again for more than about 2 minutes.
