I relapsed on YouTube/Twitch/Reddit

I am 100% certain I relapsed. It’s very hard to tell with my addiction sometimes. I did not game or watch YouTube or watch Twitch. I did however start watching a lot of r/funny and r/unexpected videos. Those are the kind of videos I watched compilations of on YouTube. I knew I was in a gray area and did not stop.
You may have noticed that I have not been very active lately. It’s been because of my excessive Reddit use. I was unable to prioritize, I had to do homework but I didn’t.
So here’s day 0 for YouTube/Twitch/Reddit

Have you thought of downloading an app that shows you the amount of screen time your on, some of them even have screen locks… That way you’ll be able to time management more.

And remember not to be so hard on yourself

I’ve decided to restore my timer for gaming and make a new timer for YouTube/Twitch/Reddit

A timer sounds like a great idea.
You can do it… you have a lot of life ahead of you, don’t waste it with silly stuff like YouTube !

Chin up Dutchie- sounds like you know what you need to do though.

What I’d recommend is exercise, helps so much with mental health and good as another healthy outlet.

Have you ever tried combat sports? Boxing, Muay Thai or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for example?

Yeah. I think @KevinesKay previously mentioned an app that sounded pretty good for locking other apps out a certain amount per day. Maybe he has some info?

I’ve actually been passing curious about those myself.
