Experiment I abstain for 15 days from social media after extreme social media usage . Here's what happened during that time

[Jordon Peterson9900]

So I use a lot of social media a lot like 12-14 hours a day and I can't even live without social media and the internet. So decided it's bad to use that much and I decided to abstain for 2 weeks . So I let my father set up the passwords on pc and smartphones for 2 weeks so that I cannot use it . After 2 days it feel better and happy but after 5 days I started feeling uneasy and uncomfortable without social media and smartphones . I went into extreme depression and overthinking on 7th day and had a feeling of suicide . The stress was very high too . It's like a drug I can't quit

Yes I did make it but stress and depression was very high during the detox

How about now?

Also do you think a gradual reduction might be more successful?
