Description
You told yourself five minutes. Now it’s been an hour. You feel worse, but you can’t stop scrolling.
First, change your body position—stand up and move. Physical movement interrupts the trance.
Second, put your phone out of sight. What you can’t see is harder to return to.
Third, use your hands—do something simple and physical to replace the scrolling loop.
Then, make it harder next time with boundaries like timers or phone-free spaces.
Doomscrolling isn’t a character flaw. It’s a loop your nervous system gets stuck in. And loops can be interrupted.
