Hey everyone, I don't know this seems a bit concerning (at least to me), I keep coming to my phone all the time, I'm a PT and also I'm looking to go medical school soon (currently working on it), but this one problem I have is habit to pick my phone all the time and become really unproductive (I hate it because I waste tons of my time) also I'm not active on any social medias (removed them 3 years ago) only thing I have is reddit, YouTube (both I use the browser version in brave) and Whatsapp (which I use rarely only to help my clients with doubts), also I don't play any games (only chess but that also rarely). It's the YouTube that gets me.

I've tried all the methods that's available I've tried all the focus apps that available and none of them work even making it hard to use the phone or even access the phone or keeping the phone far away from me doesn't work either.

If any of you have any suggestions, please let me know it'd be really helpful. Thank you in advance!!

When I toured the home, I felt something off immediately. I asked the landlord about the previous tenant and they mentioned they passed so that’s why the unit was vacant after 28 years. I asked them directly about the passing later on that day and that’s when I found out they died in the room and remained there for 3 days before being found through a wellness check.

I’m terrified the “energy” I felt when I walked in was the previous tenant, as crazy as that sounds. And I’m also not sure how to even handle this situation.
Before you suggest it, getting a different place isn’t in the cards for me right now.

I feel like I’m walking right into a horror movie. Please help.

Im 18 yo girl and i have extreme problem with doing anything. i'm in college but i am completely failing and that might be because I dont even want to go to college. but i fear with out college i'll be a complete loser living with my parents forever. I'm working part time rn and i'm enjoying it but i know it wont get me through life. I have very little motivation and I have tried for years to want to do anything with life but I just cant. I am honestly a lazy bum, but i don't want to be. how do i deal with literally anything at all? sorry for awful grammar or if this is very hard to understand as I am mid break down rn. I want to have a happy life, but im not sure. any advice is helpful thanks

Hi all. Went through a pretty rough couple of years. Finally got my new apartment. Starting a new chapter and finally stabilizing. I bought a bluetooth soundbar and looking for some ambience music recommendations to make the space feel more welcoming and alive.

What are some genres, playlists, artists you like to have as background noise around the home to lift your mood? I was listening to Low Roar a lot but realized it's making me more depressed after a friend pointed it out.

Anything's welcome. I'm not very educated on music so anything from classical to punk rock and experimental stuff is welcome.
