It is Friday night and I can't even drink wine as I am speaking at a conference tomorrow.

Did I actually just read that right? America are live broadcasting a public execution? What the hell!

When I was a child being sent to bed early was a punishment. Now I am 50, going to bed at 8pm with a book is the best thing in the world.

I think what shocked me most about getting ill so out of the blue wasn't the ill health itself, it was how quickly people started treating me like a disposable bag. People who I thought were friends abmnd colleagues stopped being in touch, like I wasn't useful or entertaining anymore.

Woke up excited, two weeks until surgery and it can't come soon enough! First of a couple of procedures but I am really hopeful despite the risks. If I get fixed the first thing I am going to do is book a holiday and climb a hill 😂

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I have my date for my first surgery! The surgeons secretary rang me and I was so excited, she was slightly surprised and informed me she wasnt exactly putting me up in the Hilton. Two years of non stop pain and mobility problems, yeah relief from that is far superior to any hotel! Cant wait!

Today I had meetings in work all day , exposed nasty far right men and then spent the evening playing Palia and drinking wine. Life is good and today is finished. Goodnight 😊❤️

I remember reading this at School and studying it for English. I am 50 now so it was a long long time ago. It is a book that needs to be read again.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I am in so much pain I am not able to play the new Palia update, this is Really serious. Nothing stops game time.

001

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I want to live in #palia, people are polite the environment is stunning and my home is beautiful. My biggest decision is farming for ore or focusing on my plot and gardening.

The nice thing about watching Labour Conference online is that you don't have to speak to people. I not really great with the whole people thing. Also I don't do arse kissing very well or convincingly.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Loved the new Resident Evil film, think Shaun of the Dead meets Resident Evil game play. Absolutely brilliant.

Day 19/30 Exhausted and not enough time to game. That is all I have for today.

000

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

Day 17/30 Spent the day working and job searching. Think this is going to be life for a while now. It's weirdly motivating, almost liberating. Knowing my job is coming to an end and not knowing what's next, it's like an adventure. Obviously the lack of potential income is less exciting.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

Day 16/30 Today was better and I feel like I am getting to grips with the whole, losing my job thing. So its been a lovely lazy Sunday to congratulate myself for getting through this last week without buckling and loading up TikTok to distract me. Long lie in and then a night of WWE.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

Day 15/30 Still no doom scrolling, life still falling apart, just nothing to distract me from it now. Yay!

000

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

Day 14/30 Long day of meetings and finished up with bringing my CV up to date. Tonight I istened to music, danced, showered and drank wine with pizza whilst watching x-files. No doomscrolling. Not a shabby day all in all

000

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

Day 13/30. Found out my job is going. Think this digital detox is cursed, inner peace shattered. Currently hunting wine at 4pm.

000

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

Day 12/30 'No f*cks given mode' activated. I am in pain but happy, less and less negativity on social media, drip fed into my brain subconsciously, is making me much more protective of the peace I am finding. My time is valuable and I wont compromise my mental health anymore.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Day 11/30 Still only posting on this platform and only once per day. In today's update I have only one thing on my mind. Is there a special place in hell for people who hit reply all to every email when a reply to the author is all thats required? If not, there should be.

Day 10/30 Overdid it yesterday and today in a fibro flare. No doomscrolling to pass the time and too much pain to be productive or play games. Going to be a tricky one. Audio books and cups of tea it is then.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 09/11/2025

Day 10/30. 3rd of the way through my digital detox, other than a post a day on here. So far I have more time, I am sleeping better, more focused in work and started to enjoy old hobbies again. My stress and anxiety is so much better managed. The pull is still there though.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

Day 9/30 Cleaned the house, went shopping, played witcher, had my hair cut, listened to my new book for a bit, tea with my daughter and then watched #frankenstien with my husband. Finally booked a getaway. I dont ever remember having this much time! Doomscrolling tiktok was ruining my life.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Day 7/30 Plan to play Witcher tonight on PlayStation, turned on to update and it was last played 3 years ago 🤣. I have really neglected doing something I love, escaping into games and exploring. Looking forward to this tonight, finally feeling like I could be still here, hidden.

000

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Day 6/30 Managed to get out at lunch for a little mental health walk, I had forgotten how much this really does help. It's been an up and down 6 days but I have to say that I did not know how much time, energy and emotional damage was taken by doomscrolling every day.

010

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Day 6/30 I used to love crafts. Haven't made time to play around for ages, so today I decided to try a new project. First attempt at a beaded spider, be kind! I am only an amateur and its just for fun.

010

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Day 5/30 The only thing I found tonight was margarita 🍹 Still trying to find myself but this is a nice distraction along the way, mixed with criminal minds and snacks, its helping distract me from doomscrolling. Here is hoping for a better day tomorrow. My ACNH island looks great though.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

No amount of cuddle jackets, music or distraction toys is helping my dog manage the fireworks going off everywhere for #bonfire night. Panting, shaking and wetting herself. I hate it and if I had my way it would be organised events only.

010

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

Day 4/30 Not been good at all, feeling really depressed and anxious, not able to doomscroll the pain away and not sure how to get out of the cycle. My mental health has never been 100% but of late its trashed. I was hoping restricting online activity would help, not today.

000

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

The desire to get a desktop computer again is building, consoles are just not cutting it and I need to mix up my cosy games with something else. I do miss Warcraft, not the raiding but the wandering and the stories.

000

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

Day 3/30 First day back in work and I cant believe how much more focused I am. Less time checking my phone, bed early and slept well. Today the compulsion to doomscroll is so much better. I even made plans of things to do this evening. Only 3 days in and a huge difference.

000

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

Day 2/30 finding me. Today I played animal crossing, did my daily physio, reorganised wardrobes and popped out to the Alt Market in Liverpool. Remembered how much I love listening to audio books. So much more time now, but still feeling the pull to doomscroll. Hopefully will get easier.

000

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Day 1/30 of finding myself. Today I deleted all social media apps apart from this. I spend so much time scrolling through mindless TikToks getting frustrated with the world, also buying rubbish I dont need that leaves me broke. Tonight I played on my switch again for the first time in months.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Weird question. As a woman approaching 50, I find myself not knowing who I am anymore. It's a very uncomfortable feeling. Worse that that, I dont know how to find myself or where I put her, when I even saw her last. Anyone else in this phase of life? #help

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

#weapons is incredible, a Grimm fairytale for current times. Not often a new horror keeps me totally enthralled.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

Saw this on another platform. To be fair, I am indeed fascinated by cheese. Pair it with a chutney and a cracker, and I am totally spellbound.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

Its Wednesday, first week back at work and I am proud to announce I have not yet had a breakdown, I am not stressed and I have cleared my emails. This has to be too good to be true?

000

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

Since I have a rotten cold, I have the perfect excuse to stay in bed, eat chocolate, drink tea and read my new book that my husband bought me for Christmas. It also means I get to stay away from the chaos happening in the dining room as he rearranges everything for his new gaming PC. Perfect.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Watching a classic from 1991, it was terrifying at the time. A British classic that shook the nation.

000

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Just to be absolutely clear, I will not be posting work related activity on here. For the last 12 years, I have used social media for work, and I grew to hate it. I realised when I started this account that I just wanted something for me. I am here to enjoy new connections and learn new stuff.

010

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

OK, I have done it. I bought Starview Valley. I need to break my Animal Crossing habit and mix things up a little. Let's see how this goes after the ler down that was Garden Witch Life (still feeling bitter about that, so much potential!) Any tips welcome for a new starter.

000

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

I call this piece - Existential Crisis at Euston Station. It's the mid afternoon section of a series I am building . I am an artist now. Or perhaps not.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Even in the rain, I love coming here for work.

000

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

I was really disappointed with Garden Witch Life. I initially loved it despite the bugs, but now I am stuck on a quest, trying to climb a tower in a pink desert and failing miserably every time. Can't progress without completing. Even my husband has struggled, and he is an expert platform gamer.

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

It's been a long time since I have loved an album this much. #TheCure

Tiffany @baliss.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

It's very strange starting a new account on a new social media platform. The basics on me- I love Terry Pratchett, Supernatural, Buffy, Star Trek etc etc. Love gaming, although now I am older I have moved from Warcraft to Animal Crossing. Love music, mainly rock/alt and books of all genres.

Hi, new here and trying to find anyone I know. Is it nice here? Is it safe here?
