I’m a teen of the 70s as well, and I’m currently trying to recapture that sense of liberation. But I can’t believe is how quickly it captured even myself. The fear and anxiety I have of not having even a cell phone is disturbing. Not to mention a smart phone.
If it's literal anxiety (I could break a leg and not be able to call for help and die type anxiety) get a cell phone that has a good battery and NO SIM. It can still call 911 but can't do anything else.
