Based in the UK.
Exhausted and not enough time to game.
That is all I have for today.

Spent the day working and job searching.
Think this is going to be life for a while now.
It's weirdly motivating, almost liberating.
Knowing my job is coming to an end and not knowing what's next, it's like an adventure.
Obviously the lack of potential income is less exciting.

Today was better and I feel like I am getting to grips with the whole, losing my job thing.
So its been a lovely lazy Sunday to congratulate myself for getting through this last week without buckling and loading up TikTok to distract me.
Long lie in and then a night of WWE.

Still no doom scrolling, life still falling apart, just nothing to distract me from it now.
Yay!

Long day of meetings and finished up with bringing my CV up to date.
Tonight I istened to music, danced, showered and drank wine with pizza whilst watching x-files.
No doomscrolling.
Not a shabby day all in all

Found out my job is going.
Think this digital detox is cursed, inner peace shattered.
Currently hunting wine at 4pm.

'No f*cks given mode' activated.
I am in pain but happy, less and less negativity on social media, drip fed into my brain subconsciously, is making me much more protective of the peace I am finding.
My time is valuable and I wont compromise my mental health anymore.

Still only posting on this platform and only once per day.
In today's update I have only one thing on my mind.
Is there a special place in hell for people who hit reply all to every email when a reply to the author is all thats required?
If not, there should be.

Overdid it yesterday and today in a fibro flare. No doomscrolling to pass the time and too much pain to be productive or play games.
Going to be a tricky one.
Audio books and cups of tea it is then.

3rd of the way through my digital detox, other than a post a day on here.
So far I have more time, I am sleeping better, more focused in work and started to enjoy old hobbies again.
My stress and anxiety is so much better managed.
The pull is still there though.

Cleaned the house, went shopping, played witcher, had my hair cut, listened to my new book for a bit, tea with my daughter and then watched #frankenstien with my husband. Finally booked a getaway.
I dont ever remember having this much time!
Doomscrolling tiktok was ruining my life.

Plan to play Witcher tonight on PlayStation, turned on to update and it was last played 3 years ago 🤣.
I have really neglected doing something I love, escaping into games and exploring.
Looking forward to this tonight, finally feeling like I could be still here, hidden.

Managed to get out at lunch for a little mental health walk, I had forgotten how much this really does help.
It's been an up and down 6 days but I have to say that I did not know how much time, energy and emotional damage was taken by doomscrolling every day.

I used to love crafts. Haven't made time to play around for ages, so today I decided to try a new project.
First attempt at a beaded spider, be kind! I am only an amateur and its just for fun.

The only thing I found tonight was margarita 🍹
Still trying to find myself but this is a nice distraction along the way, mixed with criminal minds and snacks, its helping distract me from doomscrolling.
Here is hoping for a better day tomorrow.
My ACNH island looks great though.

I hate it and if I had my way it would be organised events only.

Not been good at all, feeling really depressed and anxious, not able to doomscroll the pain away and not sure how to get out of the cycle.
My mental health has never been 100% but of late its trashed. I was hoping restricting online activity would help, not today.

I do miss Warcraft, not the raiding but the wandering and the stories.

First day back in work and I cant believe how much more focused I am.
Less time checking my phone, bed early and slept well.
Today the compulsion to doomscroll is so much better. I even made plans of things to do this evening.
Only 3 days in and a huge difference.

Today I played animal crossing, did my daily physio, reorganised wardrobes and popped out to the Alt Market in Liverpool.
Remembered how much I love listening to audio books.
So much more time now, but still feeling the pull to doomscroll.
Hopefully will get easier.

Today I deleted all social media apps apart from this.
I spend so much time scrolling through mindless TikToks getting frustrated with the world, also buying rubbish I dont need that leaves me broke.
Tonight I played on my switch again for the first time in months.

As a woman approaching 50, I find myself not knowing who I am anymore.
It's a very uncomfortable feeling.
Worse that that, I dont know how to find myself or where I put her, when I even saw her last.
Anyone else in this phase of life?

However it does mean I get to binge watch #supernatural in between naps and painkillers.

Pair it with a chutney and a cracker, and I am totally spellbound.
