Escapism is a helluva time. If I find myself repeatedly checking the same app, I uninstall whatever app I check for a while to give me some space to figure out why. I always end up recovering, re-installing and continuing as normal. I wouldn’t say it’s a sign of weakness, it’s space that you need to figure out why you have the need to spend so much time on it. Also, remember that these apps are actively designed to keep your attention for as long as possible. Algorithmic feeds, infinite scrolling.
