Sucks. Idk. There’s things I need to prioritize, and need to stop distracting myself with my fucking phone.

Most of the day is fine, but after it gets later in the evening, there isn’t much on nostr, here, reddit or the other places I use and it makes me feel sad. Bc I have no one to talk to.

And then it forces me to realize that I’m avoiding my responsibilities. Idk how to fix that. My fucking cell phone isn’t going any where but I’m -stuck- in it

It’s my distraction, entertainment and social life. Everything outside of my phone is what I’m drowning out on purpose bc I don’t want to deal with it.

Then it’s night time, and I have nothing to show for myself after being on my fucking phone all day.

Just another day that I didn’t take care of anything.

Idk I’m sorry. I know you guys can’t be there all time, yall have lives and stuff I understand that. I need to figure out a way to chill out or something.

I just don’t get how I went from having my shit together and then now being at a point where I don’t leave the house.

I’m isolating myself on purpose.

EDIT: Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this. You all have me valuable advice and it really means alot. Yall are awesome and you made me feel better. Thank you

    Hello Alice. I see two related but distinct things going on here: low mental health and lack of productivity. The former is a matter of building and maintaining good habits. It helps to spend time offline, for example by going on a stroll every morning. As for productivity, you are more likely to follow through on your plans if you write down your goals with pen and paper. There are systems that help you with this. I recommend the Bullet Journal method. You can also practice your ability to concentrate by reading a book or meditating. I recommend you do all of these three things (stroll, planning, reading) at the start of your day.

    It’s very human to long for social interaction, and ideally you have it every day, but social media is designed to keep you addicted by making your brain release dopamine upon each interaction. Here’s a video about it. Maybe keep it to just a few chatroom where you check in with people. I’m thinking about starting an accountability group. Are you interested?
