Well how old are you? When you get to college, your whole life pretty much revolves around your laptop. It would be really unreasonable for your parents to just take away your computer (assuming you're over 17 years old). Otherwise, you should probably being going outside more often, since when you grow up, you won't have the chance even if you want to.

I'm 16. People keep saying I should go outside more often, but I really don't see the backyard as all that entertaining. :|

Dark impulses are nothing unique to you. It's important that you recognize them, maybe analyze them, but never act on them.

That said, welcome to addiction. It's a bitch, ain't it?

Well let me give you a word of advice, get the FUCK outside! Dude don't be like me and waste your whole 8-9 years on the goddamn internet and PC letting your life pass away because you are so freakin' addicted to the PC.

You want to know what happen when the internet turned off for the summer time last year!? You seriously want to know how freakin' pissed off I was at that time. To be honest I felt like I could of kept my sanity over a few days, weeks, and maybe months. Since day 1 I got tight at EVERYBODY, I got tight at my mother, my younger brother, and even people who I don't even know. I WANTED to kill the world for taking about my paradise since that very day. When I heard about the internet coming back on within a week in July from 2008, I was lapping over the door like a freakin' dog who couldn't wait to go to the park. When that day finally came and the internet didn't come on. I got even more angry, so mad that I had to go to my cousin's place just to be on his PC.

Guess what kid, when I didn't have internet for all those days. I only played my DS, Day in/out like it was the only thing that was keeping me sane. The internet finally came on during my B-day, like August 17th and the internet been off since the last week of June!?

So if you're going insane in the mind right now, imagine me going without internet for a whole freakin' month!! It was torture but I wouldn't kill my family over something so technical...

You seem to have (more than) a touch of the PC addiction. Perhaps you should take a long hard look at yourself and what's important.

The sad thing for me is that even the PC is becoming less interesting. I seem to be losing interest in just about everything. Everything seems pointless, frivolous....empty. Sometimes, I just sit here staring at desktop, trying to think of something to do. I load up websites and see nothing but the same old crap, stupid questions, pointless topics, nothing interesting. I'd go outside, but to go where, to do what? I pick up my DS and look at the list of games on it, find nothing of any real interest and shut it back off. I look at coming soon lists for PC and DS and just get more depressed because there is nothing but crap coming. Maybe you guys like some of the stuff coming up, but it all seems like lameness to me.

I'm having a real hard time caring about anything. Be glad you at least care about playing on the PC.

Rayder, those are red flags for depression, you may want to look into that.

Well, all my problems stem from the fact that I was laid-off 3-18-09 (my freaking birthday) and haven't been able to find work since. I eat the same bland food everyday and sit at the computer all the time. I need a job to break up the monotony and some food that actually has flavor to it and I'll feel better. I've lived with depression since 1991 when I lost my eye. Depression isn't really the problem, the lack of anything to do is the problem. It causes the depression to perpetuate.

I keep getting this feeling with anything I do that I should be doing something else, but I don't know what that "something else" is supposed to be. That's the most aggravating thing.

I agree and disagree. I agree with the fact that boredom and monotony do tend to accelerate and perpetuate depression. But I also think, in contrast to that, that the true test of such a thing is one's ability to simply be with themselves. If the theory is that you need something in your life to distract you from depression, well, that's still just a distraction. That only puts your issues out of mind, it doesn't rid you of them.

I still hold that true. I'd take travel over the internet any day. It's just going to be a few years until I get a car.

You have an addiction

this has happened to me several times

what a sad life i live...

I live at my computer, it's what I do all day generally, although I do have friends I don't leave the house much. I'm a bit anti-social outside of the computer. If somehow I were to lose my computer, I would be like :sadface: and end up having the tv on all the time and probably play more video games. Hell I may end up leaving the house more without the computer. But things are fine the way they are right now.

You guys need to start moving! Get outside there, do something physical. Start playing baseball, learn boxing, something like that. Find something(other than the computer)you're interested in and go out there and do it. Maybe you'll get hooked to something healthier. =)

I know you have a couple of instruments, practise them more often. Get really good. Take up a new hobby. Try photography. Read up on cool things such as light painting and HDR photography. Going outside doesn't mean you have to go sit in your backyard. Walk downtown, keep your eyes open, just watch. Seriously.

Not sure how alike you are to me, but I have been doing these things lately and I haven't been on my computer nearly as much as I used to go on it. Which is one of the reasons I haven't been active here in a while.

Agree with this one, except I don't have TV service and I watch pirated movies instead. Except I'm really anti-social outside of the PC, more than you, hell I'm probably borderline autistic.

That. I have to balance practicing my acoustic/bass guitars, lifting weights, working, school, etc., it's really helpful so do that.

Fuck yeah, PC addicts unite. But really man, was what they wanted you to do THAT bad that you couldn't just suck it up and do it? You're pretty lucky in that sense... My mom threatens to take my computer away AAAAALLLL the time, and that's even if I do all my chores and whatnot.

Haha, I was looking for this actually. That last sentence.

get a girlfriend
youll forget about your pc in seconds
the mind is fickle like that

Also you're 16 so its probably normal to go through an emo phase. I spent 2 years hating every single person in my college.
