My dh says I’m addicted because I don’t watch TV with him for 5 hours every night. LOL But I do sit next to him on the couch while I type.

If you’ve caught yourself indulging in the “morning post” or the “three blog lunch” you’re in bad shape and need serious rehab.

“...grouped with extreme addictive disorders such as gambling, sex addiction and kleptomania,..”
I have to agree. They should all be grouped together, under the heading of modern psychobabble idiocy disorders. The treatment is to stop doing it.
Cancer, diabetes, AIDS, etc, are diagnosable disorders. Gambling and internet overuse are behaviors, not illnesses.
I often wonder if God is laughing at us, or crying over us, when this idiocy becomes the accepted norm.

I think this has a ring of truth.
I was diagnosed with CDO, which is sort of like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but the letters are arranged in the correct order. Neat and orderly, alphabetic, proper.
And I post here all the time.

It only affects 10% of the users according to this guy. I have nine friends and none of them has the problem.
Uh-oh...
