I'm really the same way, when it comes to social media.
I've had my share of medical issues these past few years, and am often a shut in myself these days, leaving the house once per week at most, chauffeured by family to get places. Mine are ongoing, though with some recovery. I know how you feel. Physical therapy was an ordeal that I dealt with almost daily for year, before being able to do self-therapies at home.
Watching TV was one of the few things I could do -- get lost elsewhere, so as to forget about my own plight, even if for online 20 minutes. Sometimes hours, as I'd marathon watch DVDs or shows on my media player.
Godspeed.
