I have a crippling addiction to r/communism_101

So here’s a quick back story of my addiction, so I didn’t know anything about communism except the Western propaganda. Then I found this chamber called r/communism_101, and it ended up opening up my mind about communism, and I learned a lot from that particular subreddit. But then I ended up getting sucked into the doom spiral of r/communism_101. And I couldn’t get out of it, and I hated it. I hated being stuck in the doom spiral, I hated how they made me feel, but I couldn’t stop myself from looking at the subreddit. <br><br>It was to the point where I felt like I was going crazy, it was affecting my mental health, I couldn’t sleep because of how much it stressed me out (not to mention I thought I was fucking insane for trying to “fight capitalism”), and I couldn’t stop myself from going on that subreddit. Your average internet trolls don’t affect me for the most part, but for some reason r/communism_101 had an effect on me that I don’t know how to explain. I didn’t get sucked into the doom spiral like I do on r/communism_101 with any other chamber, but there’s something about r/communism_101 that just kept pulling me back. I was seriously thinking about deleting my chambers altogether because I couldn’t stop myself, I was too gripped by the chamber to do anything about it. <br><br>I tried blocking the chamber, but that didn’t work because there’s always a way to sneak around the block, and I would always find a way. And I tried to delete my chambers account, but nope, that didn’t work either. I was too addicted to that chamber to stop.<br><br>And then I found this particular chamber, and it was really informative on how to stop. It was a chamber made for people who were addicted to r/communism_101 like me, and it was informative on what to do to get out of the doom spiral. Earlier, I couldn’t think of any reasons why I shouldn’t be addicted to the chamber, but this chamber provided a lot of reasons. It also helped me to realize that I wasn’t going crazy. <br><br>And it ended up working. I stopped going on that chamber, and I’ve never felt better since. I know it sounds like I’m exaggerating (and I probably am), but I feel like I just got out of a cult. I’m not joking I feel like I just got out of a cult. I know it’s all in my head, but I feel brainwashed. Also, I feel like I’m going crazy again because of how brainwashed I am. I’m less brainwashed than I was when I was addicted, but I still feel like I’m going crazy.<br><br>How do I stop feeling like I’m going crazy?<br><br>Edit: I’m not even joking, I seriously feel like I just got out of a cult.
