“How much” is easy to measure. “Why” is often more revealing.
Two people can consume the same amount for very different reasons. One may walk away without much thought. The other may find it becomes central to how they cope.
Motivation shapes risk more than volume alone.
If this applies right now, pause before your next coping behavior and ask what you are hoping it will give you. Relief? Connection? Peace? Awareness gives you more options, and optionality is protective.
