Does anyone here feel addicted to the forum too much

i feel like it is reducing the time that i could be doing more stuff.

i mean it is nice in small doses but i am finding that i am spending too much time thinking about the forum even when i am doing other things which is distracting.

should i take a break?

or should i not and just try to discipline myself better

would i be able to do it??

might be good to see the difference in how i feel about guilt on how im spending my time

I have a sort of set routine so I dedicate time to when I am online or on the forum. As a mod I try to read most threads so itā€™s kinda necessary but Iā€™d suggest getting in a good routine and setting aside time to do other things. Read, exerciseā€¦it really does help.

It seems like every time you take a break and request your account be anonymized, you open a new account within days. :thinking:

I would recommend that you just enjoy the forum. :slightly_smiling_face:

Itā€™s social exposure. Without it Iā€™d be a hermit. I donā€™t think itā€™s a bad thing.

I look at it as a form of therapy. :beetle::beetle::beetle:

There are worse things to be addicted to I suppose.

Maybe the social activity and support is helpful?

Yes it is helpful. Itā€™s just I find my focus outside the forum should improve.

Maybe I will try to cut down.

Do you find this forum addictive in an annoying way?

OK, Iā€™m going to take a break, letā€™s see how long I last off the forum. Iā€™m aiming for a week but feeling just slightly hesitant.

I think I know what you mean.

But the forum has really helped me in a lot of ways too.

I hope you find a way to achieve your goals and stick around at the same time.

Good idea. Iā€™m going to set a goal to stay away for 2 weeks.

Nice one, Rosenthal, that is pretty impressive.

I still have not managed to take a break.

I have to mainline it at least three times a day or the withdrawal would be too much for me.
