Man if you are anything like me and you use Instagram but you don’t really use threads, but you keep getting baited into clicking on threads posts and then it locks you into a doom spiral because every post is political and the comments are a dumpster fire… Get this app - ThreadSky

I'm in a dissociative episode right now & that's genuinely the most helpful thing I've read 🥲💕
Everything is stressing me out & social media isn't helping (not like it's really meant to idk. Sorry I just started venting. This was a very helpful suggestion♡)

I’m so glad this is helpful!! Another one that might be helpful is this random comment I screencapped a while back, I need to remind myself of this fairly often 😅

I realized I never enjoyed being on threads, it just made me mad and stressed me out, so I just set up a schedule to keep it blocked 23 hrs/day (settings wouldn’t let me do 24)
Guys it has been SO NICE. I still click the clickbait sometimes but it just takes me to a blocked screen now 😌

I also have all social media blocked in the mornings to help me get my day started without getting stuck, and it’s been so nice and useful. I like this app too because they give you a one time purchase option, I’m always lookin for ways to not start another fkn subscription lol

I put my phone in a nice velvet bag with a draw string.

Often, I mockingly scold it and tell it that it’s slowing me down and distracting me.

“Go into your bag. You’re in a timeout!”

It’s dumb, I know, but it works. Sometimes I reach for it and see it all bagged up and go “ oh yea..”

I find it really helps to put my shoes on and dress up fully when I have a lot of work to do. Tells my limbic system that it’s time to do something significant.

Also, it seems to help to shake your finger at your phone as you scold it, firmly.

It’s the problem. Not you.
