@forestfern@mastodon.social good plan. De tox step by step. Did you replace the noise with anything? I have been trying to replace it with podcasts etc. It is a lower level of noise on the anxiety inducing meter. Would be better to have nothing... but that would mean listening to my own self talk. And that's not good

@maxelcat I revisited things I used to do when computers didn't dominate our lives. I'm trying to add more analog by watching my favorite classic Hollywood DVD films, listening to music, and most recently, painting my mom's house. What helped me most was turning the phones completely off which helped me avoid checking any notifications. After all, I lived without these devices decades ago! Remember having to wait until you got home to check messages? I'm missing those days more and more.
