The thing is that I don't enjoy reading novels and I love playing videogames once in a while, sometimes I feel that I might give off the vibe of being a loser or something if I play videogames everyday haha, should I just cut myself some slack?
I can't help but feel that my problem of hyperfixation/obsession has a simple solution
I obsess and overanalyze stuff way too much lmao.
I have a plan, I will use a lockbox, lock my phone till 8 PM everyday, I will do this for a very long time. The reason I have these mental health issues and have these weird, annoying ruminations and hyperfixations is because I would use my phone for 9 hours everyday on tiktok, that will obviously destroy my mental health haha. Yes it will be hard but it's necessary I was listening to songs that I used to enjoy a lot as a teenager and not even a drop of dopamine or happiness entered my brain,this has to stop. I will get my attention, focus and life back.
There is a likely chance that I might fail in my first attempt, with the people that went down this route, how did you manage the sadness that came with not meeting the screen time goal? I would love some advice.
I started controlling myself last week Tuesday because I decided not to usd tiktok after using it for more than 9 hours I think, it is Monday now and I still ruminate about the same stupid historical topics, I keep thinking about terrible hateful content I used to watch, it has been almost a week and the thing that improved thd slightest is my sleep quality, I am not seeing much improvement.
I suspect that my mental health issue is deeper than phone use tbh, the way I got this mental health issue is kinda dumb if I am being honest, just threw my sanity away. I am running put of ideas at this point.
