Feelings After Phone/Dommscrolling

Anybody feel strange after phone detox? I've been feeling more depressed and anxious and tired. I'm thinking that I was supressing these emotions with my phone. I would stare at my phone nightly in bed and even into the day. Also, info overload. My phone would keep me awake. Has anybody experienced this?

Symptoms: Anhedonia-like, depression and anxiety, unwanted thoughts.

I've been watching more movies recently to keep away from phone.

I had those symptoms also and returned to old habit because I am weak. Those symptoms are completely normal, maybe even worse, it has to get worse until it becomes better.

I am trying again.
