I use a track ball for my laptop on the couch it's nice for couch browsing.

Anyway last night I was in a half asleep state and found myself moving my thumb like it was a using a track ball to swing the "camera" in the dream.

Then Tetris B, my alarm, started playing and the dream broke into Tetris blocks falling that I kept turning by clicking

I woke up when I slammed my hand into the head board and broke my clicking finger, it's okay though I taped it to my bird finger and both together are able to click mouse with barely any pain!

Q

Is screen addiction associated with other unhealthy behaviors, outcomes, or addictions?

A

Yes, several studies have correlated screen usage and excessive social media usage (“hyper-networkers”—more than three hours of social media a day) to poorer grades, more acting-out sexual behavior, more behavioral problems. Beyond unhealthy behaviors, we see that excessive screen usage in adults can correlate to increased depression (so-called Facebook depression due to what’s known as the “social comparison effect”) and increased anxiety. Dr. Craig Anderson and his research associates at Iowa State have over fifteen years of research showing the aggression-increasing effects of violent video games. Dr. Mark Griffith and Angelica de Gortari have coined the term “Game Transfer Phenomena”—psychotic-like features that are often observed in compulsive gamers who blur the game with reality, or who have intrusive sights and sounds of the game manifesting even when they’re not playing the game. In my own clinical practice, I have seen first-hand this form of what I call “Video Game Psychosis”: Gaming clients who’ve had full-blown psychotic breaks after marathon gaming sessions and who needed to be psychiatrically hospitalized.

Stigma is bad but so can be people underestimating the problem.

I've had people tell me "it's not a real addiction" or that I'm "lucky it's just computers" as I mainline a Dell desktop.

It started innocently. My pal had a 2-for-1 card at the local internet safe. By next year my room had posters of Steve Jobs. Didn't care when my parents found out. I was too far gone. It was when my little brother walked in on me boofing a Rasberry Pi that it hit home: I needed help.

Too bad all the support groups were online and it pulled me right back in.

If you are going to use computer due to addiction, always use a clean disk. If you shareware a disk you run the risk of catching and spreading a virus.
