I need help (YT/internet addiction)
Tw: internet or yt addiction, grr pain-
Again Idk what to select topic for this again but yeah-
I mean this is kinda the only place I can get advice and support (atleast the biggest/best amt I can) and Idk what to do to help myself but thats not the point-
So due to my undiagnosed adhd.. Cant even access a professional btw. I just always had a youtube addiction or always been there ever since I was young, it was the only thing I had at the time..
But now its literally blocking me from doing the things I need to do/my goals (for a lack of a better term). But thats not the only thing thats blocking me- its like my two main accs aka the places I go for entertainment/easy stimulation, but its really just.. terrible. It doesnt feel good I dont feel fullfilled at all.
I tried to unsync w/ those two accs one day, and it felt great. I felt free. I tried to do excerisice/drink water for a few days, also do more creative stuff (draw and write) instead of just yt/internet for stimulation, and it was great. But then I started to watch yt on my other acc, and synced in back w/ my two other accs cuz I was bored bored, and now slowly reverted back to my old lifestyle
I honestly tried so hard, w/ different techniques, to get rid of my internet/YT distractions, but they all never worked, and this kinda is starting to be that again.. Idk what to do, to stop this and finally do the shit I wanted to... But then again ADHD hahah..
Its prolly not allowed to say advice to ppl maybee? Idk how to say it but if it is, then I def need some. Any help is appreciated, idk what to do tbh... I appreciate the support so much <3, ty to yall!! ❤

first, you are not allowed to curse on here. second, I encourage you to continue to do other things to slowly get away from youtube and the internet.
@Chrissy911666 , hello there , I am sure this is coming out of blue....I have been suffering from internet addiction since COVID. Initially I skipped my classes just for having fun. But after a while it was the only way I could forget how I mesed up everything because of my addiction. i use is so I can feel better about myself. It has taken so many things away fromy. My family , friends , studies. Everything I cared about is hurt cus of this. I want someone to talk about it. Whom I can listen to . And understand eachother. I need a friend who knows a bit about this. Its been a while since you posted this. So I don't know how you are at the moment. But if this something you want to work further on , we can do that too , only if you are okay with it . Please let me know what you think Kay ? It's okay if you don't want to engage in this too. Thank you for taking out time to read this
