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 find that observing the sunset and in general being cognizant about where the sun is in the sky to be helpful to my mental health. Practicing this also makes it really obvious that modern society is not at all centered around the sun but rather arbitrary times that's completely disconnected from nature.

      That sounds like making myself very, very sad :lt-dbyf-dubois:
