Hey guys i am facing this terrible problem in recent days I am being attracted by the computer like a magnet... this has resulted in passing almost 16 to 18 hours a day computing... i am trying to skip many other commitments i need to keep.. n this is messing up my life.. Do u think this is some kind of disease... u know any way i can get out of this?? i feel helpless n i desperately want to change my computing habits...

stop browsing internet from home and use only cafes!;) that way external forces would prohibit every time you try to follow your attraction!lol

Too much is too bad. What you like too much, it goes farther away from you. Therefore limit the computer work to 4 to 5 hours a day. If it is inevitable, then give a break of one hour for every 3 hours conmputer work and keep looking at greenery, talk to people, take a walk. This devitation help you to keep up your eye power and health.

SHUT OFF THE COMPUTER NOW ...would that help? I know the feeling my friend and umm honestly I just have to force myself away from it. I don't have other advice other than just turning it off right now and get out of the house. Even if it meant taking a walk to the shops or wherever. If you know that its messing up your life, then do something about it now or else you may have no life other than your computer (sorry to be harsh - i had a few friends go through this) take care

I was like you in my first three months using internet and since I get my ineternet connection unlimited. Everyday my computer is opened as like yours. But now there are days that a felt a little bit lazy using my computer, maybe at first I just feel excited about it.
