Ok what do you think now??? Do you think youre addicted to the internet? Same question as with DS. Do you find yourself logging in and not doing anything else with your life?

deleted_user
no i do other things, but it is a great source of enjoyment for me.

I find myself logging on as soon as I get to work and then throughout the night. So yeah addicted, but also my life line for now.

I'm only a week into this. It has been a lifeline for me. I think this is a better place to be for now. Someone recently told me that you have to get out of your own head once in a while and if you sit in the house alone, you will be alone with your thoughts for too long. I don't feel ready to venture out and meet new people so this feels safe right now. I'm sticking with you guys and the close friends I have... one day at a time.

i think that very same question all the time. i have the same 15-20 sites that i have to look at and i usually have ds on a different tab within my browser. usually in between sites i toggle over. i learn many things from ds - also the sites that that i frequent. this is the only social site i use. i think the internet is on many levels very helpful and productive for me. i usually don't spend wasted time on it, of course unless i shop for something.

Sadly I log in when I get to work and leave it up most of the day. I have never been one to surf the web at work but lately I find that this site has been pretty helpful.

I log in when i get home and check in at work. DS has been such a source of comfort for me and I have made some really good friends here.

deleted_user
The first few days. I guess I'm checking to see if my input helped anybody...

I join lilsam in the thoughts that you guys are safe for me right now! lol So, yes, to answer your question I am addicted to DS, I can honestly think of worse addictions!

Heck, this place gives me comfort. I don't stay up until 5am writing here, I don't use my children's food or clothing money here. I come here to try and get healthier. I go to work and right now that seems to be about all I can handle. I am trying to be very gentle with myself these days.

You guys have made me laugh when I only want to cry. You've made me feel valued when you appreciate a piece of advice I have to offer. You comfort me when I cry. You give me good advice and you can be more objective than those closer to me. I've been isolated in a lonely relationship for longer than I realized. This connection has been good for my soul.

deleted_user
alot of good replys. I find myself here alot. Like many of you I come here for comfert and advice. Because I don't go out much or anything it seems all i have. What do you think, did your being online put a strain on your relationship?

deleted_user

deleted_user

I've been on DS since July. When I first came on I was devastated and was on all the time. It was my lifeline until I could get my life in order. So now I try to get on at least once a day, read my friends' journals, welcome new members, and be of support to others. And I enjoy reading the discussion because you keep learning and when you know others are going through what you are, there is a special comfort in that.

Is it addiction when you are getting help and comfort, I'm with TSand I'm not taking food from my kids, I'm getting done what I need to do. So hanging out with you guys is good meds right now.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
