My Computer Is Sucking My Soul Out. 2009-05-08 09:08:01 Reply

Do you find yourself sitting on the internet, searching for something meaningful and after passively gorging down the feast of information in front of you not too long before slipping into a zombified, unconscious state where you're on the internet but you're not really there?

It's a strange feeling, like a temporary detachment of the soul from its body... almost like a horrid possession... you will yourself to escape from this dead state yet the automatic impulses of your body want you to stay on doing who knows what.

It really is like being a zombie... I was sitting there for the last hour reading Newgrounds threads and I don't have any recollection of anything I read... but then I kind of... woke up and I had no recollection of how so much time passed in what seemed like seconds... I've lost entire days reading Newgrounds threads...

It friggin took me an hour to write this message because I spent fifty-five of those minutes staring at this screen blankly. Seriously, does this only happen to me?

These symptoms are exactly those of computer addiction.

Do something before it's too late!

Oh, don't be so shy.

I've been distancing myself from my computer more and more lately. The internet is too addictive, and extremely unproductive at the same time.

Does it count as addiction if I'm not actually aware I'm there at the time? (i.e. zombified/unconscious/possessed/dead)

Vengeful spiritual possession has a nicer ring to it.

Depersonalization ?

If you are worried about your state...maybe you could consider seeing a doctor.

Go free healthcare :D

Oh, don't be so shy.
