Social media addiction and behavioural changes

Hello everyone,i want to express my feelings and want some advice pls help. So it's been a year I am addicted to social media mostly YouTube a lot i use it for 9 to 10 hrs a day I tried everything to get away from it but everything ended in failure. Beacuse of that I have isolated myself i have started avoiding my family members forgotten my dreams and goals and slowly heading toward depression. I have terrible mood swings and overthinking many times . I have suicidal thoughts and in all become i negative person. I can't speak to anyone abt this becoz i have lost all of them ,all my friends and even family members. But now I realise it and seriously want to change this. It would really be very helpful if you give me advices and tell me whatever you can so that I can change and come out of this thing.

Hey! Thanks for reaching out. I am sure you must be facing a lot of issues. I think you should slowly try to limit your time and make a priority list for yourself everyday. By the end of the day reflect and check if you are able to complete 70% of it. Accept and appreciate yourself. Start doing small things that gives you happiness. Maybe start to socialize with one or two of your friends or spend some quality time with family.

I can relate with u, I can't tell much but, u should believe in yourself that u can do and achieve whatever u want, secondly try do some little things for your family and make them see a total different side of yours that u r changing when they'll see some changes in your personality they will accept u, appreciate them for everything they have done for u, every one loves appreciation.
