I’m doing my hobbies, reading, drawing etc. still watching long form stuff but I still feel bored without the constant stimulation. I really want to improve my attention span
I’m 3 weeks into the elimination diet and my symptoms aren’t much better. After cutting out most of my favorite foods. This is so frustrating.
Maybe I’m just not that diet sensitive. Is anyone not diet sensitive? And how can i even tell what bothers me diet wise when theres all these other factors, breakthrough periods, stress, possibly allergies?
Maybe it’s more my allergies, stress etc I don’t know. I do notice it get worse when the weather changes, I’m congested etc. I don’t think regular antihistamines work, but I can’t take hydroxyzine with the amitriptyline, it makes me too tired. Not sure if it worked for that or not anyway when I was taking it before
This is just so depressing. I can’t work a normal job anymore. It feels like it’s messing up my life
I’ve taken many breaks and when I went back to the apps the last time, I told myself if I can not go above a certain time and use it in moderation, then I don’t have to cut it out. If it gets bad again, then I have to.
But this obviously never goes well. When I’m having a bad day whether it be depression or issues with my chronic pain I’m like “well F it” and spend too much time. Or say “just 15 more minutes” so many times and I do too much.
So at this point I just don’t think I’m capable of it. I feel like I need to just cut it out completely for a while. I don’t like that it’s taking away from my other hobbies or learning new things. I don’t like what it’s doing to my attention span. I don’t like that even though I’ve been productive the first few hours of the day usually, all I look forward to is scrolling.
