August 5, 20241 yr hey! i've been struggling with doomscrolling for a while now, with 6-10hr long scrolling/youtube binges, and I quit 116 days ago! however, it's summer and many of my friends are on vacations, travelling with their friends or partners. and here i am, a uni student whose overprotective parents came to visit without much warning, judging me on my academics and personal life. i just want to watch youtube and watch reels 24/7 because I want to distract myself from this situation. plus, i can't do half the things i wanted to do this summer because of my parents i've been waiting for this summer a long time but now it feels like it's ruined. i just want to numb myself from this. i tell myself that "it's okay if you open instagram and scroll now, you'll enjoy life once your parents leave" but i know i shouldn't do it. idk what to do instead what should i do?
September 4, 20241 yr Welcome to game quitters, can you clarify your post, are your parents preventing you from going outside and doing what you like? What are your interests?
