What are the symptoms of CA ( computer addiction)?

To name a few:

- Just like most addictions your will is enslaved. You have no power of decision any more. You are like a zombie. Scrolling, clicking without any consistency.

- There is no constructive, nor positive outcome in what you are doing.

- You are digging a hole without end.

- It affects your health, Finances, Relationship, Work, Self-care

- It affects your social life, Your family, Your relationships

- It is a step backwards. A flee in illusion

- An obsessive concern with virtual life

- A loss of quality sleep

- An urge that you no longer control...


If you recognize more than one of those, be alarmed... you might be concerned, more than you admit.

I get so depressed when I'm not on my computer.

Feel so bored...

As long as it is not destructive it is ok...
As long as there are no side effects it is ok

Try to find a point of insertion (and that goes with wHat you like) like new fields of interest: local photography club, pet club,...

There is always something someone is going to come up with that isnt healthy for us. Like sitting on our butts all day and not exercising. I am disabled and take care of two elderly parents. My life is my computer! Does that make me addicted?

LOL!!! I used to think I was addicted but now I'm not so sure - we are going to have to define 'destructive' here for those of us who have long been bending the definition out of all proportion :D

someone a couple of years back did a series of hilarious blogs on 'how you know you are addicted to WA' ...

my new year's resolution is less time online, definitely getting smarter about that - 9pm switch off, no matter what....
