  • Im waiting on getting diagnoses and medication for add, I really just use it to push back my thoughts and feelings for a while. So I wouldn’t say I’m addicted to reddit and hexbear specifically, but its definitely addiction to something. I’m also only 7 months alcohol free so there’s displacement from the thing I used to do to push down my brain. At the very least its not AS bad a coping mechanism than alcohol. 7 months seems like a long time but its still generally considered early sobriety, and it was my go to self medication for like 12 years.



  • I stopped using reddit apps or having an account years ago. Now I just go to reddit.com and scrolllll like its slowly pushing down a syringe full of undifferentiated “information” into my eyes. Honestly hexbear feels similar because I’ve just seen it all before, the users are actually good but it kind of still becomes just thick content paste I’m barely thinking about except gradually I’m more lathargic and depressed, weighed down by the misery of other people and my own hopelessness.
