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 walk around the neighborhood and leave my phone at home. I feel something almost like a psychic pressure in my mind from all the stimulation I get from all my devices, and so I need to let the spring uncoil itself in my mind.
