    If using the internet to fill the void that depression leaves then yes, I do... If not, it's just the best way to disctract myself from useless negative thoughts... Although it's not working so well right now. :banghead:

    Crawls away to sit in a corner and stare into space

    Thought I was helping cheer you up :chin: :)

    I don't have internet in my flat which is probably a good thing as I can just relax and switch off when I go home. I did want to get it but BT want £130 to install a phone line and then it would be an extra £20 to £30 approx per month to pay for the net and line rental.

    I go on the net far too much at work though. Not good. But I do still get my job done. I email my friends a lot through the day, it brightens my day up for free.

    Did you see that China is 'treating' folk with internet addiction.

    Pretty scary stuff http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/21/AR2007022102094.html?nav=rss_print/asection

    I don't... I just get bored and distracted easily when I'm studying.

    Probably. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't check my emails, myspace, livejournal, this place and facebook. The shame :blush:
