Are you having bouts of anxiety...?

Christine Cahoon   Thu 18 Dec 2025

I am finding myself often reaching for my phone usually to check email or WhatsApp but more often drifting afterwards for a dopamine kick in the numerous apps on my phone... then I realise "Wise up!, Stop wasting time!"

But I also realise how much more anxious I feel if I am on the phone too long. So I started to do some research and found many articles on how social media can cause anxiety and even depression.

So I decided to check how I could prevent my brain using the phone excessively and found there are a number of options already built in to the iPhone to curb that trend!

Has it helped... well, I'm getting there. However, I am starting to realise I have to replace the phone with a book!
