Agree on the healing ('healthy coping') is hard af part.
Being able to look at a memory and admitting that it hurt (and still does), took years.
But while I don't enjoy the healing in the moment, I feel much better afterwards, than if I would have just distracted myself.
I even saw myself being less clumsy after a while cause my mind is less distracted with keeping down 'bad' memories.
But disagree on the existence of unhealthy coping.
If your leg gets mauled by an animal, the first thing you do is getting away, no matter how, be it crutch or crawling. Once you're safe you can start letting your leg heal. Same thing with your mental health.
If you get hurt by loosing a friend or a breakup, you get yourself to safety, be it by distracting yourself or just sitting somewhere or crying or just playing strong. Once you're able to live, then you need get to the healing/healthy coping.
The 'unhealthy coping' often feels less like a coping strategy, but like the way of life for someone who got his leg mauled and was either forced to continue as normal, never got to safety, or had to live with the animal and the constant mauling. They're gonna have a lot of crutches, pathways and other weird behavior to work around the constantly broken leg(s). And someone who mentally never got to safety will have his addictions, detachments, depersonalization, etc.
But both will need to heal and let go of their respective survival strategies.
Does your touchscreen still accept input?
If it does, you can try locking your screen, pressing the power button (a non-brocken screen would turn on) and hold down both volume buttons to enable Talkback.
Talkback will read aloud what is visible on the screen. If you never configured it, it might be hard to understand depending on your language settings and the talking speed.
But with some patience you should be able to navigate to where you need to and enable the USB datatransfer to backup your data or navigate to the settings menu to enable ADB debugging for a full adb backup.
Same.
Maybe it's just a fear of commitment or perfectionism?
Because as soon as one of those materials gets used it often can't be undone and the project most likely will no longer be as perfect as the idea.
It's a bit of both. I agreeey that Linux problems are actually solvable, but we're also willing to put up with a lot more because of that. (Admittedly, Window's enshitification is helping with the last part)
