< A day without phone or computer
I have this problem as well, especially the looming anxiety when trying to fall asleep in the evening. I know it’s healthy to get off these screens, and the constant information flow is making me feel erratic and scatterbrained. The issue is I have no idea what to do when not on a computer. I don’t have any non computer related hobbies. Can’t be at the pub all day, after all.
@quilliam The only way out is through, in my experience. But it depends on each persons anxiety level, and our unique capacity to tolerate it for a time. Meaning, the only way I know of to reach the destination you want to visit is to go there even though we don’t feel ready.
It means inevitable anxiety for a period of time while our (nervous?) system makes sense of the new reality.
I say this because I’ve lost time waiting for a “way” or an answer. In the end, just doing it was the way. Good luck. I hope this reads as supportive rather than judgemental or condescending. I’ve no idea what’s right for anybody else.
