I do not think the odd snack is a problem, but when you start eating full meals and continue to use the PC then you start to have a problem.

I used the Internet as a means of hiding my depression - actually it made it worse, but I couldn't see that at the time. It kinda gave me a door to open so I could release myself from the real world.
How did I break away? Lots of help to be honest and I needed to have real things to do in the real world - it took a big kick up the bum to wake me up.

Sorry to hear you had such trouble, sav--I don't feel depressed but I wonder sometimes if I'm spending too much time on it. Of course I used to use it for my work quite a lot, but now I can find other things to do...perhaps it goes in fits and starts, I can be on for some time, and at other times not be bothered. I do a fair bit of reading too

Sometimes arguments get too heated, don't they? Or opinionated people lose thri rag and throw out insults. On the other hand, there is a place for serious discussion and exchange of points of view and I have often found those very informative. There is room for both.
