It felt like there were frequencies I could not see constantly bombarding my head, and I would get this numb feeling in my head and jaw area. I absolutely could not hold the mobile device up next to my head during phone calls. It made my head uncomfortable despite me believing it was harmless. I could never stay on calls holding the phone up to my head. I always got so uncomfortable so quickly that I needed to switch to bluetooth headphones or, more often, the speaker phone. My mind seemed foggy and cloudy with my cellphone around me. I no longer have a mobile device and I feel like I've been returned to nature. My mind is no longer cloudy or foggy. I sleep better and I do not feel the way I felt (lethargic, distracted, foggy) the entire time I was carrying a mobile device or with the presence of on around me. I sleep better and feel more in control of my life. I also have a sense of my privacy being restored. My cellphone used to always know when I woke up in the morning. It would save all the notifications until I stirred in bed a little bit at 4 a.m. or 5 a.m., and it would suddenly flood the device with all the notifications it saved for me over night. It also always gave me too many personalized ads considering I had my microphone off, my camera off, my location off, and personalized ads off. Social media sites and other websites would somehow present an ad to me for a product or service I discussed out loud to another person, not over the phone, and it is not something I ever looked up on an electronic device.
