Urge to respond to texts really quickly

[twoleftfeet22]

I feel like I'm maybe addicted to my phone and need to reign it.

One thing which really bothers me is that I have the urge to read texts as soon as I see the notification and then also reply straight away - I suffer from chronic fatigue and various health issues and I'm stuck in flight of fight mode - so I think I sort of worry that if I drop the ball, I won't pick it up again kind of thing. If that makes sense.

This is all fine but then when I'm expecting a response I keep checking for it too. I drive myself mad 😡

It doesn't help that im often not well enough to do much so my phone becomes my pastime.

Highly relate. I've turned off phone notifications which helps a bit. Although I still check a lot!

I'm thinking I need to tell my close friends to call instead of text for anything requiring a quick reply and then I might be able to relax a bit by turning off notifications?

I also feel (not so much with my best friends) that I come across a bit desperate when I respond quickly and others take time to reply!

Even now I keep checking if anyone has responded to the thread 😡

😂😂😂 not angry face

Bless you.
Try and make your phone really boring
