vamos scorcho Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm just making this thread for purposes of sharing experiences. I think it's quite clear what is the solution to internet addiction, the cure even, for mild/early states: THE CURE FOR INTERNET ADDICTION: GET OUT MORE! GET OFF THE FUCKING COMPUTER AND READ A BOOK, SEE FRIENDS, LIVE, do a dance, do something, anything. but still, I want to share. this digital, virtual world is quite addicting, physically even. i'm personally a bit isolated in my current living situation so i've been using the net more in down time. i must say, it grows maddening. cycling through bullshit. over and over. reading things. checking things. leading to nothing. it's quite boring! so, this thread is devoted to internet addiction madness. it may be a pointless thread but I feel it's notable the cycles of endless, pointless refreshing and the detraction it causes from everyday life for some people. in fact there are CLINICS for it in China, I believe! and probably elsewhere.

vamos scorcho Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 people often write off the severity of caffeine's effects but for me it reached the point of 10 shots espresso, 3-4 big coffees per day. i'm down to much less now but even a cup can still have a strong effect. i'll certainly plan to stop that entirely in place of tea perhaps do you ever feel like you're watching your life on a TV? yeah, most often. i recently have been reading some books on mindfulness and Buddhism which have helped me to deal with this sensation.

luke viia Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 i drink a pot of coffee everyday. it's not healthy, but i can attest to the fact that it doesn't make a normal man paranoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCP, you stop taking drugs. abuse/trauma, you go to therapy. the rapists caffeine never made me paranoid, just more chipmunk-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
