The 3AM delivery notification trick that finally stopped my anxiety spiral

Turning off all app notifications except texts from my actual human friends in Philadelphia cut my phone check count from 140 to 12 per day after 3 weeks, so has anyone else tried deleting the apps that feed you curated doom instead of just muting them?

Same thing here, killed all the news and social apps cold turkey and my brain finally shut up at night. 12 checks a day sounds about right, and honestly the silence is worth more than any update.

Man, cold turkey is brutal though. I tapered down over a month.
