  • not preachy, or atleast not unwanted. i am taking the “get ready for the day before (insert screen activity)” tip, now i wonder how i might do something that i don’t want to do for 60 seconds every day… but i suppose that’s just anything i’ve been meaning to put off at this point… haha.

    the truth is i have diagnoses, time at doctors and no help. doctors are great if they’re not understaffed underpaid and proverbially extinguishing fires from budget cuts.

    some of it is the novelty of screen addiction to institutions: i have yet to meet anyone in these helping roles who’ve ever been around screen addiction or way less so that have struggled and surpassed it themselves. so a lot of the discussion gets dumbed down (to make talking of computers & gaming palatable) and off the mark (no doctor or therapeft i’ve met face the gravity of the situation, thus denying me access to treatment on the basis of “oh that’s just autism” so on… for almost a decade. rolling the ball anew as i’ve moved since then.)
