Phone Addiction

Ok I’m sure I have a phone addiction. The first few months I was actually really good about being off my phone but recently I am constantly on it or feel like I am. I average 8hrs a day and 5 on social media. How can I do better about it this? I just want to spend time with my baby and not let her see me just on my phone while I am with her. as a sahm i also have zero interaction with others so I feel like I fall into social media a lot. Again I know this is wrong and I want to fix it.

You aren’t the only one. Im averaging 6hrs right now and its hard. I’ll even use a blanket over my knees so baby cant see im on phone but its still a bad habit. I’ve never been one to just sit in silence, always been a multitasker and my brain goes a million miles a second. It’s hard to just be present. And it’s not like I can get up and do stuff either because baby won’t let me. And I don’t want to put the tv on because it’s worse than the phone I feel.

Get an app like stay focused, add the apps to lock you out of our limit you then have someone else password protect. I've stopped reddit and video shorts that way.

I got the app Brainrot
It forces you to be mindful of your media usage. You can create time blocks that you “aren’t allowed” to use your phone. It had really helped me.

My husband and I are very competitive lol so we both put the Screen Time widget on our main screens and see who can use our phones the least. We change what the winner gets depending on what’s happening during the day, like loser has to make dinner or whatever or on the weeks where he’s not home I will make a goal and if I can stay under it, I’ll get myself something on Amazon or from target or something

I feel so alone..

I have everything most people don’t have.. a house, amazing kids, a car, food, a dog, a good job.. but I feel so alone. My relationship isn’t great and hasn’t been for a long time.. I’m hurt. I’m isolated. I’m lonely. I internalise everything. I’m not acknowledged. I hardly even exist.. the good things I do get pushed aside & ignored and then I’m treated like I don’t do anything.. I go above and beyond ALL the time.. I’m not even half the woman I really am because I just feel like an unsupported waste of space..

Do you feel like some people on here try so hard to argue why they are right even when they aren't? See below

I have been following a post on here and others in the past and came to the conclusion that some people on here just try so hard to "prove" they are right. I mean in cases when the other commenter(s) or the person who posted has either credentials, proper information, experience and what not. Sometimes you just want to comment and tell them to just give up already 😅 I swear some of y'all would argue with a surgeon and try to come up with ways he isn't a surgeon
