A few years ago I made it my personal goal to pick up my phone only when absolutely necessary and that has done wonders for my mental health. For photos, I have a Canon G7 X and appreciate that it only has one job and it does it very well.

I hope these posts gets flagged (mine, and yours), because Jesus Christ dude. It's in the past now but that sort of mentality to something so far beyond practical reality is really terrifying. I hope you got some psychological help and are better now.

#16I've just been using Instagram as a place to browse art. I think you can't really unfollow toxic people (you technically can but your brain won't let you). But what you can do is flood it out with positive vibes.
My Instagram feed is full of e-commerce memes, AI generated art, and hand drawn dungeon maps.
It's not exactly useful but it keeps me inspired for the next day.

I think he is referring to the fact that this is a pretty low-key topic about a website to learn new languages, but your reply involves a very divisive political topic that you seem heavily invested in. It's almost as if you went up to the counter at an Arby's and started talking about intense political subjects to the person taking your order: it's very out of place.

#18I have found Headspace very useful for learning how to practice mindfulness and meditation. It’s very easy to get started with.

#19Sorry if this sounds blunt but the question is a bit like "what's the least harmful kind of crack I can get to improve my health?" From the way it's phrased it sounds like you're struggling with mental health and excessive phone/devise usage. The two issues might be related, my advice would be no app.

This would also be my answer. Put the phone away, preferably out of arms reach, and read a book.
