You have an extremely active imagination like I do!.
All writers and artists are this way!.
Now that it's spring time it'll be much easier for you to ease away either abruptly or gradually spending less time off the net!. Do you know what I do to curb my internet addiction!?
Garden, and take "in person" writing workshops!. It's so important to be around people!. Even if you tend to be a loner on some level, just interacting more w/others will do you good!.
Plus after high school or college, it's harder or more challenging in some ways to socialize!. You know, everyone gets more settled in their lives w/work, marriage, family, ect!.
So this is one has to make time for socializing and meeting up w/friends and also making new friends!.
In school it's all sort of 'right there'--your always bumping into ppl you know on campus or in the library!.
But anyway, around here they have this monthly community magazine that has "going-on's" in town, which inc!. several different clubs or seminars and classes for artists, musicians and writers!. I recommend branching out a little!. And just saving the net for an hr!. before sleep or on a rainy day!. --Esp!. during the warmer months when FUN is actually all around you!.
All you have to do is include yourself in these surroundings :o)Www@Answer-Health@Com

ouch, I'm sorry,,, and I think it may be normal for a period of time,,
I was ADDICTED to it, like i would feel so bad when I had reached the max questions posted or answered on a day!.!.
What I did, because I don't think its ok, it was to just shut it down, not to go back there for like 3, 4 days and concentrate on something else, I forced myself,,, like working on a certification that would help me at work,, and well , i think I'm doing well now,,, here I am :D but not as often as beforeWww@Answer-Health@Com

it is quite seductive, it really is!.!.!.and you do have to start using self control!.!.!.It sounds like you really enjoy it, and your friends, and maybe you don't have much of an outside life, and so you depend on the internet, for a life!.!.!.go out and make friends, and try to ween yourself the best you can!.!.!.those messages will still be there in the morning when you get up!.!.!.sounds like you are afraid if you don't get to them right away, you might lose them!.!.!.that won't happen, and if it does!.!.good riddanceWww@Answer-Health@Com

get someone to take away your laptop/computer for a few days to force you to do something else!. another one you can do is put the parental controls on and make it able to log on and off between a certain time!. lets say 6pm and 8pm!. you cant get on before or after those times and it turns off after 8pm and wont log on before 6pm!. make someone else put on a password so you cant use parental controls and override it so you go on for longer!. pick someone who wont mind you ranting at them and who will know and tell you its for your own good!. family or a best friend maybe!.
or you could block the sites that you are addicted to!.
yahoo answers have thousands of people posting questions and answers per day!. doubtless there will be someone who knows the answer to a question you do!.
asking questions is all well and good but keep it to a minimum!.
helium articles are just from other information people could get off the internet if they typed what they want to know into google!.
it's good that you have a dream of writing poetry!. i'm behind you on that bun, instead of going on the computer and trying to get them published which is going to take time that you don't need to be doing anything in!.
instead look for inspiration, go outside, see nature, write more poetry!. maybe you haven't thought that it may not be getting published because the publishers have not yet found the right poem!. write more, develop your style and write lots of poems!. one of them might be the right one that the publishers want!.
wish you luck!. xWww@Answer-Health@Com
