These are some of the hardest words I've ever had to say, I'm an addict.
My addiction is technology, my psychologist wants me to stop using technology before bed because it's overstimulating and causing me sleep issues.My problem is, I feel lost and lonely without my devices. I have no connection to the outside world and it never used to matter to me. When I was younger we didn't even have internet, we talked to friends on landlines.
Now, I can't even go to the bathroom without making sure I have my devices. When I put my devices down, as my psychologist has directed, I get so tired, so easily. It's like a little weight is lifted off of me and I never even knew it was there.
But in the back of my mind is that craving to message somebody or check social media.I didn't even know that technology was my addiction or my obsession.
It's truly been eye-opening. And it's super hard to stop, even after putting my devices down I still pick them up just to check my notifications because I need to know.
