Deleting Reddit off my phone created emotional and mental pain for me. I kept opening my phone, swiping to where the app used to be and then feeling a weird sense of disappointment and being lost.
Yet, it did not last longer than a week, soon my brain learned that it was no longer getting the dopamine hit it used to get from the app and stopped craving it.
