I can't get my mind off mylot

Kathy, you're saying all this like it's a bad thing? I do the same thing. It's got to the point that I'll be talking with my husband and all of a sudden say oooh, I can put that on myLot and make money! A couple of times when I did that it wasn't convenient to come start a discussion right then, so yes, I did make a note to remember to do it later. Are we too far gone? Is there a twelve step program for us?

Only all the time. I have had to go out this morning. I came flying back and straight on here. There should be some ind of therapy that you can get. In fact perhaps I could retrain as a myLot addiction counsellor. Discounts for friends. Free for you. LOL

I know exactly what you mean!! Everthing that happens to me in a day, I will look at it in view of a possible discussion. When I talk to people I do the same. I do not get up in the middle of the night though I must admit, so I am perhaps not that bad yet! Glad your headache is better, there is nothing worse than a bad head.

Im thinking of carrying a little notebook with me so I can write down my thoughts/ideas for discussions as I find that by the time I get to the computer, turn it on and get to mylot.... poof its vanished!!! That can be very frustrating!!! I do find myself thinking about topics but I dont rush to the computer in the middle of the night as once Im asleep, I dont tend to wake up til the morning. Depending if Im at work or not depends if I turn on the computer, if Im working I have to wait till 9pm and that is slightly frustrating as I wonder whats happening in the world of mylot!!

It's the same thing happening to me now..I seemed to be "addicted" to mylot, whatever I am doing, my mind seemed to be busy finding what discussions or issues I could create and post..even when I'm already laying on my bed and still can't sleep,all I think of is mylot!!!! The next morning after I woke up, I'll begin my day with checking out my discussions for any response, and then create and post new discussions... It really is addictive...maybe because I love what I am doing , conversing to people on mylot, sharing ideas and opinions about anything under the sun...

Its true, you're always thinking about topics you want to talk about, its getting insane. But I'm sure we'll get over it. Its either that or we'll go completely insane and addicted to mylot :) But it helps you in starting conversations. You read about so many topics and discussions that you are much more aware of what's going on around you

Hi! I'm Bob and I'm a myLotaholic. I take my digital camera and a pad of paper and pen everywhere I go in case I run across something that would make a good discussion. So this addiction is rampant it seems. I love this place for the aspect of mostly learning about other countries cultures and beliefs etc. Thank you mtLot for this great opportunity as well. I am retired and take care of my father whom lives with me so I am online almost all day till 3 a.m. so that explains a lot doesn't it? HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Yeah quite aa few times actully. Like reading a book or seeing a movie and then I think . This is a great discussion for mylot. Mylot is usally the first place I go to when I go online also.

I do from time to time. It usually happens when my husband is away and I can't get to sleep. If I don't find anything on tv to watch then I'm on the computer either in mylot or playing games.

If I start a discussion a day, I'm being really busy! If I do wake up in the middle of the night, I want to get up and clear out my inbox - that means mylotting for a while. Since I woke up at 1:15 this morning - I went to bed early - here I am, cleaning out my inbox - its now 2:40.

Hello there kbourgerie, I am a guilty user as well, ha! Starting off again (after I accidentally deleted mylot account), I am now embarking again on a new journey but none tired nevertheless. I do have to admit for a new user like me to be addicted, what more for a veteran user such as you and the others in mylot. I can't imagine that! And I'm getting the symptoms too, LOL. But I suppose there is a very good side to it all. We get different views each time and have a broader perspective on things. I have to admit too that my mind gets sharper each time since joining mylot, because mylot makes you think, and improve on your writings, and at the same time makes you "aware" of all the things that are happening all over the world. Like I saw one discussion where one student runs naked or something and I didn't know that there's such a news outside of my country. So, mylot is informative, addictive and I could get answers to my discussions as well. I don't really think so much about what I want to discuss, but it's more like a spot-on and instant thing for me. Maybe being a guy, I think that way, not sure about others though. But I love to answer friends' discussions and other new users because when I look at the discussions, I think that I have an advice to contribute or I could get curious and start asking them. Like for instance for software information which I read and people start talking about it, and I would just pop up a comment and ask. So, to answer your question, YES, I can't get my mind off mylot, because I am always curious and everyday curious about what new things I'm going to find out. The knowledge in mylot is so diverse and tend to make me and the others, I'm sure, greedy for information and knowledge. Have a nice day there. ;)

Absolutely, I lay in bed sometimes and think oh I should have added that to that response or I will think of a myLot friend that I haven't seen post for a while and think I'll PM in the morning to check they are ok, but yes in everyday life I'm thinking of new discussions or something does happen and I post as a discussion later. It definately does become addictive I must admit. Ellie :D

I am not that bad, but i agree, i am a bit obsessed with it too. At college when i am ment to be doing my coursework, i always divert to mylot! ... just to earn a couple of pence! Chris

I think I addicted too. But I'm trying to dominate myself passion. I knew it's very difficult but I'll try.

Hmm. I'm not really addicted to mylot. It's not that interesting as compared to playing a game or something.

I have my lot on all day and all night on, the last time I had a writing assignment I had a hard time to pull myself away from my lot to do it. It is bad lol

I'm not that obsesses but i regular think about topics i can use for mylot. I find it very difficult because most of the mylotters are from the US i think, i'm not. There ar some (medical)issue i like to discuss but i'm to afraid to do it. Have a great day!

I have not found myself getting up just to come to mylot to post, but I do get online if I can not sleep.

Yes, and I have got into a very bad habit of staying up way too late at night! It's almost 2 am right now and I didn't even know it!!!! The dog usually gets me up around 4 or 5 am and wants to go outside. While he is out there, I come and check my email to see if anyone replied to any of my posts. I can only ever keep one eye open though. For some reason, the computer screen is too bright for my right eye. Weird....going to bed now.

Is myLot that really addicting? Maybe I'm just new here so I am still figuring out what I can do with mylot.
