To think I have phone addiction?

Name changed for this.

I’ve recently developed a bit of a thickening of the skin on the end of my thumb. It’s now split and cracked.

I’m cutting down my phone use for lent and have actually done very well today.

On googling, I’ve realised I have developed a callus on my thumb from excessive phone scrolling!!!

AIBU to hope I’m not the only person this has happened to? 😬

My resolution to cut down has come at the right time!!!

I sit scrolling through aimless nonsense every evening before I go to bed and then hate myself and wish I had picked up a book instead. I am thoroughly addicted to my phone. It’s ridiculous. I am a grown adult.

I don’t mean Mumsnet, obviously. 😄
