not sure why but my mental health gets way better when i use my laptop.
im a zoomer so i started out on a phone and only got a laptop a few years ago, i thnk it might be because everytime i opened my phone i would just rot away and i just go back to those habits whenever i use my phone. when i started using a laptop my entire schedule changed and updated(for the better). and having a slow laptop is prob also good to avoid wasting too much time on video games lmao
I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that phone OSes and apps are designed to steal our attention at all the times. I find it hard to do stuff while receiving notifications here and there, or even knowing that a new notification may pop up at any time. If fells like trying to do something while someone is watching and poking me all the time.
Gen Z here, I actually had the exact opposite problem. I don’t really use a smartphone now, but when I did use it daily, while I could get into some article rabbitholes, it was never to a painful extent. Probably because the phone is small and not at all comfortable to interact with long-term. But when I am on the laptop - I often lose track of time spent on IRC, youtube and newsfeeds. I now try to strictly limit the time to only what’s needed (unless IRC has a conversation that is really relevant for me), and download most articles onto an E-reader for a less painful experience.
Nope. I just decided to go 2 hours later to my own company and turned around again. That’s why I started that whole thing years ago, literally with nothing. And you should too. I’m not working anymore, I’m just having fun. Ok, I’m not having weekends anymore, but honestly: my weekends are more fun today than ever. I’m in my shop, creating stuff, preparing stuff for the week, blasting my music on the company stereo - I’ll never go back slaving for other people. Never.
Internal Family System. A therapeutic approach based on system theory approaches child-like inner parts and gives them the affection and love they needed (and still need) when those parts formed.
I think I’d be the opposite. I’d be like, “It still sucks, and the loneliness hits harder than ever, fella. But when you’re 24, you’ll get something that’ll change your life.”
Just to leave this oit there for the concerned; I’m fine.
I am, but it’s a day-by-day affair. I recently found out I have bipolar along with anxiety, but even so, I came out 4 years ago and my life has vastly improved.
Hey, it’s better than it always being shit. I’m sorry about the bipolar though. However, hopefully, it’s been found out. You can get help more suited for that.
The anxiety is.hinestly such a bitch. And I’m so glad coming out has helped. I wish you all the best.
