      yeah, this is the habit I have to break. The problem is that there's so much time and I'm too poor and mentally ill to fill it up with activities outside the house while I'm stranded in this stupid town without a car.

        Same. Most of the time I really just want to talk to people about things that interest me but being isolated, mentally ill, and mostly stuck at home makes that largely impossible. Social media sites give me at least some of the experience of having a community and people to talk to when that's not otherwise available.
