As the title states, I have an addiction to the PC. I don't get outside much, I don't excerise and I despise physical activities. I also, relateing to the PC, have an addiction to roleplaying, which I don't really label as unhealthy. At least until I start RPing all day and night, then it gets unhealthy. So, I like any rational and right minded human being would do, bring my problem of addiction, to the internet.

Well, I don't want to diagnose, but are you having any trouble in any facet of your life? A lot of people use the computer, and video games, as a form of escapism.

Internet addiction is a valid and sorta common behavioral addiction, but have you been diagnosed with it by a health professional? 'Cause if not... self diagnosis is a no-no. You might not be addicted at all, and are just using it to cope with something else, as MZ said. Only a doctor could tell you if you're really addicted.

I guess the biggest problem is if you start neglecting duties to be on the internet, like missing school or work.

So go and do stuff.  You have permission.

[Khorne]

Nothing is wrong with my life. I guess the only reason I don't do stuff is because there is nothing to do here.

Then why are you posting in the life advice section?

I know what that's like.
What is the area you're in like? Is there anywhere to go walking? Try it, walking a short distance at first, then further. Think about the characters/scenarios you roleplay about, mull them over in your mind as you go.
It's both healthy, incredibly relaxing, and it always helped me think.

Well I suppose the problem has been solved. There isnt really much here, other than the movie theatre. And I hate going to the movies, mainly because of the fact of people being there. Other than that, nothing is here anyway I will try to walk around. Good day.

I know the feeling. There isn't much to do at my town either, what with the bowling alley recently sold out to a car-selling company. 
The only interesting thing close to my house is a cemetery.

I'm in the same boat. More recently I've started doing -some- more amounts of physical activity but most of my days are spent with a screen.


You have three options really.
. Find a girlfriend who likes being with you a lot (not stalker level of course)
. Keep on keeping on, with your addiction-that-isn't-actually-an-addiction
. Move to a new place.

The first two are suggestions by personal experience.

Move somwhere with computer stores and lan gaming centers!  Then you can get out of the house and hang out in those for a change of pace
