"nobody acknowledges my addictions meanwhile my already tough life is burdened by sitting infront of screens for hours- days- weeks- months... without going outside unless it's for groceries."
Rules
phones, laptops, TV video game consoles, handheld video game consoles- all "count", you're valid.
let's update the rules as we go along

I'm assuming this is a phone and you get most of your screentime at home. Start making it inconvenient for yourself. Set a really long password and disable biometrics. Uninstall interesting apps. If you can, block any sites taking up your time at a DNS level. Keep chargers away from places you can settle like couches or bed; use a very short cord or finding places you'd have to stand to charge it. Find replacements like books, physical things like legos or art. These are all just ways to start.
not keeping chargers near my bed and couch is good
keeping all screens outta home is good too
