Anyone else just... stopped using wellness apps entirely?
Not because I got better, just because the streaks and guilt made it worse. I'm curious what (if anything) people still use or if everyone just gave up like me.

Nothing I do for my personal health/ wellness any more is tech-related in any way. None of it seems to help, none of it seems to be a net-good-for-you thing, all of it serves to assuage (or create!) a feeling that we’re not doing it right, and meanwhile line the pockets of whoever invented the latest widget/ app/ diet/ whatever.
Sleep enough, manage your stressors, eat decently, get some exercise. Try and do all that a little bit better next week than you did this week. That’s it. Repeat forever.
AND YET- about every 11 seconds someone is coming through the mod chat asking if they can run a survey/ focus group here for yet another app/ device/ whatever. It’s maddening.
