Digital Dependence
Has scrolling taken over your life?
Do you feel anxious or irritable when away from digital devices? Has doomscrolling become your morning ritual? Or shiny screens and instant validation provide a quick fix for boredom and stress? Are you stuck in the loop: check, scroll, feel good, repeat - only to end up feeling emptier and craving more. You want to stop, but quitting feels like giving up on a best friend. It's not just social media: it’s games, news, porn, shopping, dating apps, videos, and internet rabbit holes. Today, no one is immune to internet and technology addiction, be it children, teens or adults. This constant pull quietly takes over, and becomes a form of digital dependence, draining time, energy, focus, and joy. It’s subtle, and often invisible, until you try to step away.
Whether you're reading this for yourself or for someone you care about, know that change is possible and I am here to support you.

Constantly checking and endlessly scrolling is not just harmless, it can mess with your mind. It can leave you stressed, anxious, burned out and forever playing catch-up in this un-winnable game of being “in the know.” If left unchecked, digital addiction can cause anxiety, depression, body image and self-esteem issues, and even physical issues. The curated lives displayed on the screens, and anonymous online interactions promise so much, but leave you empty with feelings of inadequacy and loneliness.
