NJM 7 unexpected addiction in Second 1st

What was a moment that made you feel an unexpected emotion?
I was diagnosed with Meniere’s and had been sent to a specialist. When he’d told me I needed surgery I started to cry and I don’t remember what he’d said because the idiot wouldn’t shut up. Rocky listened as well as he could but the tears wouldn’t stop and I was a fair bit disoriented. He’s the doctor who did the gentamicin shot instead and had told me there was a 2% chance I’d go deaf in that ear.... lucky me.
There are songs in the world that make me cry too. I’ve never been in a situation where one of those come on and I don’t tear up. .... though the songs currently elude me.
I also cry when I get really mad.... that’s always unexpected… and despised.

Everyone’s addicted to something in some shape or form. What are things you can’t go without?
I am for sure addicted to the internet. I think we all are for the most part. Sometimes people talk about taking screen breaks and honestly I’m not sure I believe they actually do. I think it’s like when I don’t answer texts, calls and messages. You just want to not deal with the fact that screen time allows people access to you when you don’t really want them to. So you say “going screen free for x” so you don’t have to deal with people.... it’s fine it’s healthy to get away from that but don’t pretend you aren’t playing some game on your phone or bingeing some Netflix .... best case you are using Google maps to go check out a new real world location you’ve been meaning to do.

Other addictions? Sugar. I should have taken the opportunity after COVID and just tossed all the sweets in my house but I didn’t. I really need to do something about it ya know.....
