Using the internet to self-medicate
Yep, that's me - I knew I'd be fingered.
Going out of one's way to hide internet activity? Totally me.
From a New Scientist report:
"Nearly 14% of respondents said they found it difficult to stay away from the internet for several days 12% admitted they often remain online longer than expected. More than 8% said they hid internet use from family, friends and employers Same percentage confessed to going online to flee from real-world problems. Approx 6% also said their personal relationships had suffered as a result of excessive internet usage."
Temporarily Pleasurable: Comparison even drawn between my compulsive drive to check email, make blog entries, or visit websites to substance abuse – "an irresistible urge to perform a temporarily pleasurable act."
