Computer addiction!! Please help!!?
Answer:
I like what The Rebel said. But the most important thing is that you realise it's happening. You need to do whatever works for you, but when I was overcoming the same addiction (and yes folks, it is a very REAL condition), I switched off the computer and went to stay with my old-fashioned sister for a whole week. No computer, no video games, just good old conversation. Taking walks will help too, to take your mind off things etc. Getting ahead of computer addiction will be the best thing you ever do. Good luck, I hope you find a way that works for you. :)
Slowly take your mind off the computer. Go outside, and run for a little. Play with some friends. Now go on the computer and do what you have to do. Dont get off topic. Maybe make the computer seem like a pain. The addiction will wear off.
If you only get on the computer to do strictly work, eventually you won't like it so much anymore and wont be addicted. I have to do this sometimes. I'm actually doing bad right now cause Im supposed to be doing work on here not answering qs!
And, you are using THIS to solve your problem?
u need to limit the time u spend on the computer
Stop your myspace account and stop coming on ByeDr.com.
Also, set a timer and only allow yourself to be on the computer for that time.
If you don't need the Internet, cancel it and go to the library and use there's they usually have a time limit!
psh 3 oclock? i dont get off untill the sun starts to rise again!
I have the same problem but not as bad, online games is one of those things that are so addicting so ofc I'm there :P The best thing to do is unplug your pc & put it in a box then go outside and find something that you really liked doing before the PC came along and indulge yourself in it, maybe have a spa day or go shopping, do a few exciting things so by the time you go home you're too tired to open that box.
Eventually you will find yourself and the pc shall be forgotten :)
Reward yourself 1 hr. computer time for every hour you work out.
Reward yourself one treat, say an ice cream cone out, or a horbuck's coffee or something for every half day you stay away from the computer.
For every full day you stay off the computer, take yourself to a move or a play, or a ballgame etc.
Pretty soon you'll have such a beautiful lively life, you will leave all us one dimensional people behind. Good luck, dude, and keep studying!
