Yeah sounds like a great future ambition to live off Government handouts and bludge off the dole.

 Ashamed.  Most of us hit that by age 8.  You just need to broaden your horizons.  Maybe look into seeing if OCD is right for you.  There are plenty of problems out there to choose from...I'm giving manic hysteria a try right now.  Seems to be coming along just fine.

Well, if you hit a point where it's interfering with living a healthy and constructive life, then yeah, I can kinda see how it can be labeled as a mental illness. It's illness doesn't have to mean you have a disease, it can simply mean that you are not well, and in the case of internet overuse, there aren't any drugs involved, so it's basically your state of mind that is causing the illness.

the only problem I have is that it no one knows where to draw the line, not even the psychologists, so even if your net usage just happens to be above average, people will start pointing to it as some proof of a mental illness.

yea they call it a mental illness then get paid by making help clinics for this kind of stuff ..... its a win win !

My wife was right....

Ahh you are ill no matter what you do these days! I am gonna live with mental illness and keep on playing games stupid government can't tell me what to do!

Wicked!!! I'm completely nuts!
