i can't do anything anymore, i just doomscroll all day.can't study, can't watch or play anything, just spend 10 or more hours scrolling youtube shorts.it feels miserable, i'm wasting my existence, but i can't stop.
>>34379637Once circumstances force you to not doomscroll, you won’t anymore. Or rather, you won’t be able to, when you no longer have access to internet and a phone charger, when you’ve ran out of money or the people you’re staying with run you out of the house because you’re doing nothing for them. Or when you find out that you feel some pressure to not do that to yourself and/or those who are spending energy trying to support you, maybe then you’ll realize you have no choice but to stop. Even if it feels just as meaningless to be doing something other than doomscrolling, you’ll at least have acted as if it weren’t as such in the meantime. I feel for you, it’s a terrible cycle, and it drains you especially so when you feel like you’re just acting. But use the downtime in between acting to ponder everything, and if need be, talk with others, whether continuing here or online.
