Sorry I should have been clearer - the banking app is Monzo and they don’t have a web app for mobile or desktop

Thank you. I do run and this is another trigger, because I’m “feeling good” I will download apps like Strava, Nike running, Garmin app (linked to running watch) - I also illustrate and not being able to have apps like Instagram to promote work is annoying

Great suggestions here thank you. The anxiety caused by my OCD is so great that I will find my way into my phone, and getting it back to “normal” ASAP - screen time I just reset passcode, or override via ‘forgot passcode’ feature. I’ve used my phone as a crutch for my anxiety for soo long that in times of “need” or even when things are going great and I think I can allow myself a bit of freedom with the device. It always ends up running away from me

Thanks for the suggestion I have turned on the grayscale filter, and I think it may dull my interest in the device re:screen time - I have attempted this multiple times, and even got my partner to set the passcode. However I just bypass it and reset it via forgot passcode and my Apple ID password

Thank you. I am undergoing CBT and Exposure Therapy for my contamination based OCD (this isn’t linked to the phone usage) however in times of anxiety caused by the compulsions I head straight for my phone, and will get into it any way possible

I may be opening a can-of-worms by asking this question.

But, what are the rights around using this algorithmically generated music? Is it free use? Who owns the copyright

Great. I’d love a little game, but the reality is that if anybody uses this it will just be for ads

Clearly a joke, he was 99 no one is truly going to debate this. Smh

British Navy incident........hatred of the royal family. Not entirely sure where the connection between the two is. Maybe it’s misplaced anger

swen-rekcah | 5 years ago | on: Prince Philip has died

The Royal Family do a lot more than live a chill life. If it was a social media star I would agree. A monarchy is soo much more than that, don’t let recent press/media to dominate your opinions.
