does anyone have those days where you want to delete all your social media apps and just go out and do things you enjoy but then you feel like you have to have to distract yourself in your intense moments with your phone so you dont? what do y’all do when you’re tired of distracting yourself with social media?

I just try and do fun activities and try new things like I draw, cook recipes I find online, read, and play a instrument.

Yeah! I do that too- want to have breaks from my phone but end up checking it loads, sometimes without even realising. What would happen if you didn't distract yourself in the intense moments? It would probably be anxiety provoking but you might surprise yourself at how well you manage. I defs have an odd relationship with my phone and social media. Always feels soothing at the time but long term it feels kinda hollow

i do this too! my “get me out of this” activities are: going for a walk taking deep breaths in and out reading just going downstairs and getting a snack (really focusing on the atmosphere and trying not to think too much, though it happens often) talking to my family. even though they can be loud sometimes, i forget about all my obsessive thoughts when i’m around them. boxing with loud angry music (after an anxiety attack)
