    Addicted to Texting: Mental Illness?

    I just came accross this:

    A new medical study printed in the American Journal of Psychiatry says, if you send too many text messages, it may be a sign of mental illness.

    Besides, it points out four warning signs:

    1. Feelings of withdrawal when you can't text
    2. An increased need for better equipment/phone
    3. Need for more time to use it
    4. Experiencing negative repercussions of their texting addition

     

    WOW, what do you think? Ever find your self texting, when you should be doing something else? 

     I am lazy to send messages, I would rather make a phone callWoohoo

    Re: Addicted to Texting: Mental Illness?

    but..

    how many texts are too many texts?

     

    just curious, even though I don't even have a cell.... yet.

    Mammon slept. And the beast reborn spread over the earth and its numbers
    grew legion. And they proclaimed the times and sacrificed crops unto the
    fire, with the cunning of foxes. And they built a new world in their own
    image as promised by the
    sacred words, and spoke
    of the beast with their children. Mammon awoke, and lo! it was
    naught but a follower.

    Re: Addicted to Texting: Mental Illness?

    Not sure how many are too many, just an interesting find from google.

    Guess the 4 symptoms or warnings count, I don't have any of them anyway.

    You are welcome, distancia. Merry ChristmasGuitar
