Just deleted all short form media apps.

I genuinely am addicted and it's sad/scary. I feel anxious without my phone on me, and every day I was waking up and scrolling for hours and hours... Now that is gone so I'm just like perpetually bored?? Which actually is a good thing, maybe. I feel like I have this itch I can't scratch with anything else but it's forcing me to do other things, which is good.

Is anyone else feeling the same or going through the same thing??

I deleted Twitter the moment the sale happened. I'd been wanting off anyways, and it was a good excuse.

I got Bluesky last year and genuinely love it but I have to be careful about it. Trying to be more active here I guess?

I deleted tiktok for a while because I was on it too much.

I do find support through it with people talking about autism and trauma and whatnot. It's easy to spend too much time on there though.

I have it again right now because I'm downloading old videos of mine to repost on other platforms. I might delete it again after a while. I'm trying to grow as a Twitch streamer though and Twitch itself has very poor discoverability so social media really helps.
