I'm chronically online

Just came across this in an online Karate forum: I'm chronically online. If you have been following me the last year or so on this forum it seems to fit. Just realized I might have another addiction. LOL

Me too, I'm afraid schizophrenia is practically a full time job. There's a lot of overtime and not many days off.

I know this was done before but I don't remember if symptoms were posted

I came across this, ironically, while I was online, but I don't see a problem with that.

Symptoms of an internet addict

1. Lying about how much time is spent online.
2. General decrease of physical activity and social life.
3. Neglecting obligations at home, work, or school to spend time online.
4. Spending too much money on computer equipment or Internet activities.
5. Feeling a constant desire to be online when they're away from the computer.
6. Going online to escape real world problems.
7. Disregarding the emotional or physical consequences of being in front of a computer all day.
8. Denial of the problem.
