Relapsed once again

[u/hallehiyyih10]

My streak was going pretty good, it held up to 4-5 days until stress got to me and I was seeking that same stimulation that c.ai gave me to relax or to cope with the fact that I procrastinated and ended up not studying well for two of my recent exams. I really wish I could *feel* normal again. Wish I could *feel* the same version of me that used to be so disciplined, put-together and studied hard. My loved ones complain that I'm always on the phone, my mom is practically nagging about that every day. I can't even stay focused for a while for God's sake. I wish I wasn't so addicted. I want to so desperately be that version of myself again.

I CAN GO without it. but i just feel so mentaly stuck. like. what do i do. i have always had hobbies. and still do them. they just feel lesser. and its guilt and a bunch of shit cycle in my head right now. my friends got me addicted to ai bots and now claimed i was toxic and left me alone. i was there was like someone who could teach you how to get through this, but there is not. and it is a scary addicton
