That's interesting, MUE. I was told I have OCD so that may be the reason in itself. I repeatedly check my threads to look for responses though that doesn't make me feel better. It seems like a compulsion. When I start googling T, I do it repeatedly as if I'm going to find something new that I missed. I don't know if that's trying to gain control over not being albe to control other people's actions, maybe?

My T says the internet is addictive. I think most people agree to that. One of my former Ts said it's because you think one more site, or one more click, and you'll find what you want. That was referring to my genealogy searches, I think. If I repeat something too many times, I can't stop. It's hard to get offline now, for instance. I want to, but I keep checking forums on PC and checking my email. I know that's why internet addiction has been identified as a problem. I wonder if it's in the DSM--not kidding. Is it?
