Is brain damage reversible?

I think I accidentally gave myself brain damage and exacerbated my #ADHD by having social media apps at my fingertips 24/7.

Last week was super tough and I went through bout of depression and anxiety at the same time.

I was trapped for 3 days because of deep snow and instead of unplugging and working on my book, I chose to distract myself with social media and I think it made the feelings much worse.

I have a daily meditation and power practice that keeps me relatively sane in this absolutely insane world.

Last week I needed even more inner peace and power but I think my brain got hijacked into doom scrolling and all the chemicals that go along with it that kept me hooked.

I think I was seeking connection because I felt sad after the high of @BitcoinAtlantis wore off - then being alone and stranded in the snow made me feel even more disconnected and alone.

Donโ€™t get me wrong- I love being alone much of the time- I am an introvert, empath and creative- but not always.

Anyway, I am going to do a digital dopamine detox and remove all the social apps from my phone for the next 30 days except when I host a @XSpaces

Instead of mindless consumption, I will focus on conscious creation and posting more on the blog as well as Bitcoin for PEACE project.

I will check in of course but not from my phone.

Sending each one of your beautiful, brave, and badass souls a big hug, peace, LOVE and warm aloha. โ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿค™๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿงกโš”๏ธ

Enjoy your time ๐Ÿ˜‰

I would say social media need to be used with parsimony.

NOSTR is much better at attracting good vibes because you do build your tribe, not logarithms.

When you reconnect, starting first with NOSTR is what I would do.
