Literally all I do all day is lay in bed with my laptop. It's not like I miss it when I'm out for the day, when I'm at school or on holiday, but when I'm at home I'm just on it all the time. I don't feel like doing anything and everything costs energy. I'm not sure if I'm on the internet constantly because I might be depressed, or because I'm somehow addicted to it or both.

perhaps you've just answered your own question

you go on the internet because it's their, and it's because it's 1 of the few things that don't require much energy.

you could, in theory, connect to a tv site for instance and watch streaming shows, and relax while doing so.

also could be a lack of things to do.. let me ask you this, if you wern't on the internet, what would you plan on doing?. where would you go?

some people use internet/ tv as a form of just doing something.. they have nothing to do, or no one to hang out with.

it's hard to say if you're addicted... from what you've said probably not

I'm at uni, so I have a lot to study at the moment. But it's like I'm on the internet to not think all the work that needs to be done. When I think of even studying small parts it already feels tiring and like I'm never going to memorize it anyway. Sometimes I do sort of force myself to go a party or something and tell myself it'll be fun to hang out with my friends, but at the end of the evening I'm happy to be home and go to bed to be honest. Although the evening is usually fine, I never enjoy myself as much as other people it seems. I don't know it just always seems like an effort to do social things even though they're obviously not that bad.

I have my phone in my hand 24/7 playing games or checking in here. My bf tries to talk to me and I'm like a brick wall. At this point I'd say it's an addiction

I always have my phone in my hand too. I've been trying to put the damn thing down more and focus on playing with my daughter, cleaning, etc etc. it's hard though! I love this forum & I also like words with friends. ****, I more than like it, I love it and I am an addict so I'm sure I'm addicted to this like everything else in my life that feels halfway good.
