Hey guys, I spend hours in front of my desktop surfing the net whenever I get free time. I am so obsessed with the internet even if there is none of my friends online! I simply search this and that, keep refreshing my messages page(orkut, fb and twitter) even though am sure I won't receive any message in the mean time! Surfing the net, I have even not slept a night because I was preoccupied with the web! Moreover even if I turn my PC off, I have the impulse to turn it back on or surf the internet with my mobile!!! If anyone is having such a similar problem, or if you have some advice for me, please reply to this post! I am really looking forward to it!!!

If you're spending so much time on the internet that it's interfering with your daily life, then you might be in trouble. Not sleeping because you don't want to get off the computer isn't a very good sign. There is such a thing as spending too much time on the computer. Then again, I spend hours upon hours on the internet every day, but I earn supplemental income during the hours that I'm online, which is the only reason. I take breaks every so often to give my eyes a rest and to get exercise and do whatever I need to do. If I were you, I would start limiting the amount of time you spend on the computer because it's not good to be so addicted to it that you don't want to leave it. Start cutting back your computer time little by little and substitute that with something else you like to do such as reading, watching tv, going for a walk, etc. At some point, if you get on less and less, then you won't mind quite so much when you have to get off. :)

No my dear friend it is not the disease. As i see from your profile you are just 18 years old and you want to earn money from Internet this is the only reason you are infront of internet. My suggestion would be try to concentrate your mind on studies and do internet works for Pocket Money. Surely you will go far more in your studies.
