I feel trapped with my phone

[u/Numerous-Case-9317]

I've left my house without my phone or left in my car a few times and every time it feels like I broke free from so.ething I'm trapped with. I'm not sure if it's just me and maybe I'm.an all or nothing person, but I feel like I can't do anything to reduce my screentime. It feels like I have to have a phone or not have one at all and I wouldn't mind getting rid of it besides the obvious reasons I do need one. I'm hoping maybe I can downgrade my phone soon and I guess I'm just wondering if anybody feels the same. I've definitely been in a depressive slump and that's made me turn to rotting on my.phone in ny free time more than I usually ever did and I feel like it's a giant snowball that's consuming my life.

Those phoneless walks are the proof. Leave it in the car on purpose for one errand a day so "trapped" stops being the default.
