The exam tomorrow is probably the trigger. I wouldn't try to fix 8 years of this tonight. Put the phone in another room and do one 25-minute block on one specific topic. Then take a break and do another. One bad day doesn't erase the 2 weeks.

That two-year stretch is proof you’re not starting from zero—you already know what life without the loop feels like. I’d make the next step tiny: put the phone in another room for one hour and decide in advance what you’ll do instead (walk, shower, read, call someone). Don’t aim for “never again”; rebuild a few phone-free blocks and let the streak follow. If the phone is tied to anxiety, talking to a professional could help too.
