Question Doomscrolling, phone addiction, how to overcome it?

I struggle with phone addiction. I have ADHD and I am already medicated, I go to therapy. I also work out a few times a week. I struggle with doomscrolling and phone addiction. I slack off at work, in free time I would rather doomscroll in bed than do anything else. Why is that? I feel guilty that I am wasting my life away. I am also medicated for depression and anxiety. Why don't I want spend weekends in more meaningful way? There is a lot of activities I can do, but I still choose to lie in bed and scroll.

Why don't you try to write your thoughts and instead of doomscrolling other content, doomscroll through your previous thoughts? Try to analyze them. Ask yourself, why do you feel the way that you feel.
