The Internet is so accessible, 24 hours a day it's there and provides me with instant entertainment in the comfort of my own home. It's no surprise that I've therefore become addicted to it. I've been on the computer for 10 hours now, and it's 4 am.
I think unlimited internet is a problem for me. I should probably cancel it. Last edited by Anonymous33211; May 10, 2016 at 01:07 PM.. |

Don't see anymore posts but I like to comment on this forum. I used to be so active here but found that I was getting really addicted to it and had to make sure all my on-line friends got pics etc. I would be on for two plus hours. I realized it had become a real problem for me. I love the forum but like anything too much of a good thing is not healthy.
I still feel this is the best place for help and it really worked for me when I needed it. I thing a wonderful job has been done here but like anything, it can become an addiction. So for all the friends here...I have thought of you but I just want to come back a little at a time...............Hugs; Dee (missbelle) __________________ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

Hi Dee,
I relate to what you are saying. This is my favorite website. I get a lot of support here and I try to support others, too. I don't watch much tv so I don't feel concerned about my internet usage, although I find I read less despite that being a passion of mine. Take care xo |

Have never been a reader. But have been an internet user since they became popular. Was on line for the forums at braintalk before they went bad. Now am a member of neurotalk but it is so small found myself needing more support.
So that is when I really restarted back up her at psych central. I am bipolar so that is where I am posting for the most part. bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

I have been online for 6+ hours now. I am suppose to be up in 2 hours and have yet to even sleep. I don't have cable tv and read only a little bit. Mostly on my kindle. I have been spending a lot of time playing the arcade games on this site and watching YouTube videos.

Hubby has been gone for the week, back on tuesday.
I have been on here for hours! I post to many different web sites forums face book email, checking rechecking see if any one responds. I am like a 2 year old..... sigh I worked saturday too this week so time has flown by since he has been gone. I am off tomorrow. Will have brunch at the diner then I have nothing else planned. My dirty house needs attention, but actually the yard screams for attention. All I can say is I better not spend the whole day on line. bizi who is blurry eyed from being on line so long and not blinking..... __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

I super relate to this, haha. I don't even want to count up the hours I'm online per day. It's like a coping mechanism, because it doesn't require much thought. My OCD loves when I start putting extra thought into things (like reading books, writing, working on anything, etc) so I scroll through image sites like Tumblr and Instagram to make it shut up for a minute :I

I find that being on the computer feeds my hypomania.
Being bipolar, I need to better control my obsessions.... bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

I've not been sleeping much lately (3-5 hours a night). I don't get on the computer before going to bed, as I know that can keep you awake. I've just been spending too much time on PC lately, but there's little to do when you're up at 3 am & your days are so freaking long. I wish I could sleep a "regular 8" so I can get myself readjusted to having normal days.

Maybe I have it, it's been years already since my school years. Think I'm able to go all day online, I guess.
Thing is, I have a habit of visiting certain sites many times each day - sometimes to see if any updates, or just visiting without any reasons at all. At the moment, I can't control it. My bookmark list is full of many things useful in Internet that I planned to do, but it keep being delayed due to that habit above. As time passes, it could be months before I took a look at it back. Of course, this do affecting my life. Jobless now, so since job-hunting being predominantly done in Internet - and I'm easily distracted - you can see where this is going. Still, I'm glad this didn't affect me at all on my previous job, perhaps not owning a smartphone helped on that fact. Going online distracted me from facing those supposed problems that I suspected I had, so don't know if being Internet addict is good or bad in my case. |

My twin grandsons, now 17, are addicted to the Internet gaming. They live overseas, and I visited them twice over there. Excited to visit, they only said "hi" a few times before retreating to their bedroom to resume their internet activity. They were such sweet young boys, but their parents, my daughter and her husband, both educators , have allowed them to become absorbed and obsesses with internet gaming. They're 17 now, approaching leaving school to embark on college, but their grades are bad. I attribute this wholly to allowing then to focus on internet instead of school. I mean, all night! when the visited me this past summer, they barely spoke to me, absorbed in their internet activities. To speak to them, I had to interrupt them to remove their headphones, to which I would get a one word reply. I don't have confidence that they will succeed in anything. They are supposed to go to college next year.

I think that this is a big problem.And you are not alone in your worries.
It will be an interesting time....their grades being so bad they may not even find a collage to accept them. I feel for you.... bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

Bizi, exactly. Thank you for your response. I can't do anything about it. If I even mentioned this to my daughter, I'd be resented. They'll just have to find out for themselves, I guess.

If I included by smart phone, which I guess I should I spend hours per day online. I still get other stuff done like work and studying so I am not that concerned yet. I don't watch much tv so I guess its kind of taken that spot in my life. Whereby some people can watch tv for hours in the evening, I go online.
If I wasn't getting to sleep or working etc then I would need to address my internet use. I do find it helpful to connect with others who would understand some of the issues I am going through. __________________ Verity |
