I always think I can manage scrolling/social media use when I go on. I really can’t, it makes my symptoms worse, and affects my success. SM is an emotional crutch and an addictive one at that. I’m finally quitting (tried last week but went back after a few days) and am putting it out there for accountability.
Go to settings on your phone so that it doesn’t wake up the when you lift the phone. Always pick up your phone only when you need to perform a task. And search for the app, not swipe around. Turn off badges. Waste of your focus and attention
I’m a newbee here. TOTALLY agree that I’m wasting my life doomscrolling my life away because I am so bored!
I would like to quit social media too. I have definitely been spending too much time on my phone lately and not as present as I need to be.
Does anyone know if there is an app that makes this font on books like the Bible
You guys can write some Novels! And I can read them fast!
I've noticed it too. It's not a healthy dopamine rush. Need to get it somewhere else. But where?
I have the same feeling but then I feel like I have nothing in life..it’s quite difficult
I struggle bc it’s the easiest way for my immediate family to know where my son and I are without having to have the same convo with 3 people if I sent them individually. And events and shared photos. Otherwise, I’d love to deactivate! I notice myself resistant to plugging my phone in at night bc I just don’t want the stress of it!
I quit social medical maybe twice a year for 8 weeks or more sometimes. It helps recalibrate my brain and I’m really not missing much. It helps me be present and live in the now.
I’ve been trying to do this for years, why is it so hard! Why does the social construct depend on them soooo much. SOS.
I too limit my phone time in general. I tend to get hyper focused then before I know it, poof, my day is gone. My sense of time and what I can in that amount of time I take to complete the take is the truly off. I also set timers on my phone. I find that works
I limit my social medias, I take off my social media’s notifications and off my home screens so I am not tempted. I also took off a lot of people on my social media and only made it for close friends and family, family members and family members significant others. I limit myself for 15 minutes per day of social media and set a timer.
I was sooo addicted to SM and decided to take 1 month break from it - it was amazing. The amount of time I gained was sick. Now I barely use SM, maybe when I'm traveling or bored. Fingers crossed for your journey!!
I just started a 1 month break yesterday!
Someone on this app recommended focus settings in iPhone and it’s changed my life. I put 15 minute limits on everything to stop my scrolling. Even this app. It’s amazing. To whoever suggested it, you are my hero. Thank you for your service!
I am pretty well off SM except for the off trip to Facebook marketplace. iG was the worst for me. I would lose an hour in an instant. So I deleted the app. It helps. Even if it’s a little isolating and makes it harder to stay connected to people
Well, for me i deleted social media for good, and well now i use messanger as my first communication tool, so if i needed to check something from an app i'll seach it delibratly on browser, yes i may end up wasting a lot of time there, though well in that time it's enough to get a hung on what i missed and have propre dozage of the app, well and since it's not installed usually it's out of sight out of mind, well 'till another urgent matter pop up so i need to check Well what made me delete the apps was a youtube video it said to ask yourself "is using the app is the best why i can get *insert benefit*" if not well delete it

How did your post end up repeating about 20 times? I have it counted, but I could scroll for quite a while and I’m still reading your same post. I don’t think this is your fault. It’s just another glitch.

That’s your post, repeated 27 times. This is very weird. I don’t know what is going on with this app. I’m not too happy.

I open the Calm app on my phone first and then try not to open any social media in the morning. It gets me connected to myself and helps me focus to start the day.
I’ve put limits on SM- only 15 minutes a day then my phone shuts them off. That has helped a lot…
Wow! You should be proud of yourself. I need to quit social media, but it's hard for me
I quit for a year and then went back on and still addicted and time wasting really peeves me off think after a year off would be able to have more control but noooo !!
Oh wow! 🤯 you must be feeling extra strong!
Yay!! I quit for about 2 months and went back of thinking I’m “cured” from doom scrolling habits but SM just sucked me right back in. Considering leaving again. However this time around I’m not even interested in opening IG when I catch myself wasting time on it, I quickly remind myself what an Ick it is in the first place. I get grossed out for wasting my precious time like that and leave. I’VE UNLOCKED A NEW SKILL 🤩 dunno how long it’s gonna last though. I’ll keep y’all posted
I did what you did and of course struggled as well. I have a good month going and it's amazing without the stuff.
