internet addictions can be tricky. a few months after depression came the computer became my best friend. it used to be so bad that when someone kicked me off the computer after a few hours.. I would scream and yell and cry and throw tantrums. I was 12 then. Being separated from the computer seemed extremely traumatic to me. I have my own computer now and spend just about 99% of my time on this thing. it ruins my sleeping patterns, i barely go outside, i dont eat much either. this computer will kill me and i'm only 15 ^^;
