How do you overcome phone addiction? (Mention of su*c*de)

Start a creative project. Make a new goal that you spend your time and energy on every day that doesn’t involve being on your phone

Hey girl ur not alone I can relate to almost all of ur post. Delete all social media apps including yb I feed my kid well or best that I can and make sure I’m very present with her for most of the day. If I do those 2 things then I had a successful day and I don’t feel too guilty when I’m on my phone. Those 2 are priorities so make sure u do those 2 and u won’t feel too bad.

My child was suffering bc of my phone addiction and me and BD arguing always and she started to have tantrums often. That was her cry for help. I smoked real weed and it was as if me and her had a deeper connection and understanding and I could see so much suffering in her. That was the day I said I’m gonna change.

If u had some money, u were single and no kids what would u do differently than now?
Well my answer is do whatever u would do if u were single and had some money. Start living for urself. Stop cooking everyday and start living. Idk how to explain it better in a short paragraph but I hope this helps

U don’t have to delete ur accounts for social media but u should delete all the apps. Whenever u get an urge to use SM try to stop urself. If u can’t that’s fine use SM but then delete the apps again

An addiction is still an addiction regardless of what you’re addicted to. Be kind to yourself, at least your crutch you turned to in your time of need wasn’t hard drugs/alcohol etc.

I know you said your husband has gone to therapy and you’re waiting on couples therapy, but have YOU considered going to seperate therapy for yourself? You’ve suffered the trauma of the aftermath of a failed suicide which is huge. You need help just as much as your husband, to tackle the trauma and any fears you have surrounding the whole time period in a safe space. I feel that once you start opening up and speaking about it, you’ll find that naturally your phone addiction will a lot easier to put down and be present again. Best of luck to you, I hope it all works out 🫶🏽

What really made a difference for me was starting to listen to audiobooks & more of MY music with decent quality noise canceling headphones, I have Sony XM4 but can’t fully recommend bc the faulty charging port. I get SAD during fall, my happiness fades w/the green, & can find myself on my phone a lot just to keep me awake. I love reading but young kids & a farm to run make it difficult to consume enough to make me happy, so I literally taught myself to see the words in my head & bf I knew it I could listen & do most tasks at the same time, took work for me bc I’m really a visual reader, making my phone only necessary for my books or random SM. The🎧 stay set where voice come thru but it blocks out that background noise that is so overstimulating. I’m a bit addicted to my🎧 but I don’t mind as long as it helps my overall mental health, plus I’m hearing impaired so they actually help me hear what I need to hear, instead of just the background chaos.

Also if u guys have multiple rooms u can have ur own room separate from ur husband if he is affecting ur mental state. Basically live like ur single life but still being married lol
