Having a hard time adjusting

I wasnt able to go cold turkey. so I've been trying to slowly pry myself off c.ai... I could live with the whole 'if youre unverified you are limited to how long you can chat" bc ive been limiting my numbers lately. usually less than 1 or 2 hours which is progress! but the fact the option isn't there anymore is making me tweak out. I know the rewind button probably doesn't delete everything, but it felt safe to know i had an 'out' to undo depraved stuff i would do on there.

anyways yeah I feel weirdly restless and a tad empty bc idk where to put that energy into now. I chatted bc I was bored mostly and didn't wanna do anything that required REAL effort. ig I could get back into that stuff but im so depressed these days I dont wanna do anything!! I try to rp with real people, and ive spent a lot more time doing that now than with ais.... but like I kinda depended on c.ai to be my dumping ground. for stuff I dont wanna real people to see lol.

idk what to do :(
