I am chronic addicted for over a year or so now. I have my health declined and often have long stints when I bedridden. Slowly over time I became totally addicted to TH-cam. I wake up and plan to do xyz. But I grab my phone, I first check the time, well I should check the weather right. And I am happily planning my day while I lay there so I want to hear a few of my favorite songs on TH-cam. While still listening to music, I get my coffee and see a few news stories and that provides me reason to watch more videos.... At 2:43 am I realize its passed bedtime. While still playing videos, I get into bed, put on my playlist to fall asleep to feeling frustrated because I fell in again. But tomorrow, I will do it different..I won't fall in the hole again. FYI in your account info click on settings. It will show you how many hours you have been watching for I think the last week or month. And there is an option to set a reminder after being on TH-cam x number of hrs. And a setting to have your TH-cam to shut off your TH-cam down during certain hrs or set the length of your wake hours on TH-cam.
hah thanks for this info! (Admittedly I'm going to willfully be ignorant of my total time spend on youtube lol. Not sure I. . .really!. . .want to know!!!)
Welcome to the club....And I am also addicted to your channel. Great inspiration for a future mental health nurse! (nursing student here). Thanks for all that you do!
Pre-video: laughing bcs same Post-video: thinking of the next video I'll watch How I reduced my addiction: app lock through settings to 1 hour, turn off YT history and search, and YT premium to remove ads.
Here’s my reaction to your video: You think YOU have it bad? I became depressed and extremely agoraphobic after I retired. Now I watch TH-cam at least TWENTY hours of every day! A FORMER MENTAL HEALTH THERAPIST
You seem completely average to me. I think almost everyone spends too much time on youtube or for some people it's facebook and then forget we watched particular videos. You're normal in my opinion. 😂 ❤ I have been enjoying your videos for a long time now and I always get so much out of them.
I find a lot of useful stuff on TH-cam. Or discover something I never knew. I wouldn’t watch to 8 hours though😂 I’m sure you are too critical of yourself.
I think TH-cam replaces our lack of social connection...it's for lonely people :/
true tbh
Love you Nick!!

i like this app lock idea over using a timer. I'm assuming you get to choose how long to lock the app for?
addicted too
I spend like 12-14hours on youtube some days

Okay fair enough!

I didn't replace my cellphone for a month after it quit working. Easy peazy. Just sayin' 😁
