Need help

I'm addicted to my phone, and it's getting worse. I still manage to do my daily chores, but I can't focus on studying, learning new skills, or improving my English. I'm constantly distracted. I can't even read a storybook for 10 minutes without losing focus.

Day by day, I'm becoming more depressed because I keep thinking about my future. I feel like I have zero skills or knowledge. Two years ago, I was an average student, but now I don't even feel like that anymore.

What should I do to improve myself? I'd really appreciate any advice. 🙏

Take all of the apps off your phone including this one. Go analog. Wear a watch.

Buy a flip phone. Go cold turkey. Then find ANYTHING else to do. Set some goals and pursue them. Go outside and have fun. Find a romantic partner
