I am a 23 year old student with depression and anxiety disorder. My question is is it normal to surf the internet for long periods of time? Whenever I intend to check my email or work on an assignment, I end up looking at websites for hours at a time and I barely notice that time has passed. I read news articles, blogs, wikipedia, yahoo answers, internet movie database, youtube, and just about everything else. Everytime I tell myself I am about to quit, I tell myself "just one more link." I don't know why I fill my head with all of this useless, random trivia (what were the oscar nominations in 2003, who were nancy drew ghost writers, the average age of marriage in the US vs other countries, famous left handed people, movies with talking animals, list of song titles that are also movies, etc) because I only forget it an hour later. I miss sleep & neglect responsibilities because of this. Does anyone have a sugestion of how to quit surfing w/o giving up my pc(I need it for school work).
