My dear fellow myLotters, I used to be an average Internet user, but recently, I hav advanced and modified into something else. I now breathe, smell, bathe, drink, eat, sleep, wake, think, discuss, escort, engage and dream the Internet. I don't do something else without thinking the Internet, even my professional legal job is beginning to witness some little shift in emphasis, I am thinking of How to make my law office Internet-friendly, I am converting all my law books into elaw books (my coinage), I am thinking of how to engage the Internet to serve my basic daily needs in terms of my food, my love life, my finances, my everything. Please love, advise me, am I going gagas or are the rest of you like me too? What do I do if this is just me going gagas? Do I take a break or stop the Internet stuff altogether or do I see a psychiatrist?

If you think it's taking over your life and that it MAY be a problem, take a break.
If you find yourself not able to do that, or have serious withdrawal problems, then I think it's time to push away from your computer and seek help via a 12-step program.
The internet is a wonderful place, but not if it controls you!

Thanks Ldyjarhead, so happy you are able to comment on my discussion today. I take your advise too, but the problem of whether or not the Internet is taking over my entire system is what at this stage, I cannot tell. But like you said, I should decide when I hav had it. God bless you ma.

The fact that u urself are able to recognize your present situation makes it clear that u dont need a psychiatrist, job is important, ofcourse, but remember only if hav a good health, u can continue with the job that u r doing, inorder to do it right, everything else must be right too...reduce the amount of time that u spend in front of the computer, give urself sometime, take care of urself, eat well, mainly sleep well, at least 8 hours, if not, 6 hours (which i personally wud not recommend)
Please take care of ur health if u want to take care of ur business or whatever u r interested in

If you can stop using the net I think it's still awright. Using interent in coomn life and in job isn't something bad. Some jobs can't be done without them and other jobs can be really faster thanks to the web. Cheers and happy myloting.
