I don't know how to start this. So I was separated from my twin and that was the darkest period of my life. I am at a much better place now but I have noticed one thing about myself. That I can't function if I don't have a phone with me. I need to to constantly reading a novel or watching something. My thoughts just doesn't stop . They are on loop . So i basically finish a series in one sitting or up until my eyes are tired. There comes a time when my vision starts becoming blurry. I do force myself to take breaks but I don't understand this constant need that i have and how should I work on it . I then end up feeling guilty and the cycle continues..

Replace it with by having Journal or Note book and brain dump everything you are thinking onto a page. And also do your to do list and goals and tick whether done or detail what actually happened. Has motivated me and inspired me and better understanding of oneself. Please look at Journal youtube, just google and see if inspires you, too
