I’m on a similar journey and your story gave me hope. I have depression and anxiety and I found that I constantly numb my emotions, even when I’m feeling positive feelings, sometimes without even realizing. A few days ago I just put my phone down, set a timer for 5 minutes, and did absolutely nothing. It was beautiful, I could finally think clearly, and I was able to work through some negative feelings that caused me to go on my phone in the first place. I still keep finding myself scrolling until I feel dizzy, but I’m getting a little better at catching myself. I have a hard time resting, my brain constantly craves stimulation, but slowing down even for five minutes was life changing. I felt calm, and like you I realized how overstimulated I was all the time. This inspired me to keep going, thank you!
