So I saw this subreddit being posted from like a starterpack comment section. And I started reading everything from the sidebar.

It all started to come together. The perpetuation of my depression. My disappearance of empathy and social intelligence. My lack of motivation and joy from things other than, reddit, YouTube, Netflix, Facebook, video games, texting my girlfriend. Realizing that when not at work. These are are the majority of things that take up my free time. Realizing that technology is sucking away at my happiness and hope for a better future. Allowing myself to be in autopilot.

And then realizing how hard this would be. How incredibly bored and lost once I begin this journey I’ll be. How afraid I was, how much I didn’t want to. But also realizing that if I didn’t... I would never become anything more than an addict to technology and go no where. I started to cry.

Guys and girls, this is absolutely terrifying. Thank you for this subreddit. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to post a success story from beating this.

But today I am on step one on my journey.

Thank you for reading this.
