Will about 8 hours a day of computer screen exposure damage my brains health, etc (MMORPGs specifically)?

I play about 8-12 hours of World of Warcraft a day just playing praying no one will bother me in the outside world.

might this make me more aggressive?
might it make me dumber?

will it improve my hand-eye coordination?

will it damage my mental health?
will it damage my eyesight?


aside from addiction, i want to know what medical reasons are there for restricting my play time.

please respond.
Answer:
i can speak from experience... it will give you eye strain, and may damage your eyes a little, but nothing TOO serious... It will also give you headaches and sensitivity to light. As for the BRAIN... i dont know.. it may make you stupid, since your wasting all that time that you could be learning... (depending on your age) It could also hender your social abilities which are very important.

yes, it will improve your hand eye coordination, very little tho. not the same as playing basketball or other sports/activities...
I really hope not because I spend that much time on Runescape everyday. I do not find myself more aggressive though I do periodically see clue scrolls on the ground and wonder why I can't store all my crap in my bank in real life.
It's better than doing drugs and getting into trouble. I think that is quite a lot as you already know. Does it work for you do you have people on your back telling you that your on the computer too much? If so make it 14 hrs so you can go into the catatonic stare lol.
a good escape from a boring life maybe. get a life! or go to iraq!

Will a lose dose of seroquel cause weight gain?

I am taking 25mg at night, I have a fear of gaining weight.
Answer:
yes, a little but yes.
Seroquel can cause weight gain, but nothing significant. On their website it is stated that the median (or average) wewight gain is about 1.5 Kg, oe approximately 3 lbs. This is over a course of half of a year. If you increase your cardio exercize by running or swimming every now and again, you should be good.
I'm on a 300mg dosage of serquel right now, and I have in fact lost weight.. A similar drug "cyprexa" (if you have heard off it?) made me gain weight.. I would not be to concerned if I was you :) If it turns out you gain weight from it, it's not dangerous to quit taking it. I just hope you are happy with the effect?
I take the same amount and you should be fine. I havent had a problem with weight gain. Just make sure to stay fit and eat healthy foods.
When Seroquel is prescribed at 25mg, that means it is given for sleep. It is not recognized for sleep, so your dr can give you something else. As a matter of fact, Seroquel is linked to diabetes, higher levels of cholesterol. When you take it, it causes some people to crave carbs. Eat an apple before you take it, or keep something filling on hand.

Will a lifestyle change beat depression and anxiety?

I have always been a happy and carefree girl and never thought I would end up on anti depressants, no idea how this has happened, ever since returning from overseas I have had severe depression and anxiety, trying everything to get back my normal self, I am totally unhappy with my life, have screwed up all my friendships, hate my job, hate where I live, and spend all my time lying on my bed thinking about what to do. Do you think a complete lifestyle change would help, if I was to just go back overseas, do you think this would make things worse or help? I know there is not really a right or wrong answer but I know that if I don鈥檛 change anything I will not get better, however am not sure if leaving everything behind will help me either?
Answer:
Hi, I would say the first thing to do is to stop beating yourself up over the past and the way things have turned out.
Forget the past - you can't change that. Concentrate on the future. Your past does not equal your future.
Next find out as much as you can about depression and anxiety. You could start here - http://www.self-help-mental-health-depre... .
Also take a look at the Self Help Page here - http://www.self-help-mental-health-depre... for some ideas that will help you overcome your depression.

Good luck!
Lifestyle change can help anxiety but it won't take care of the depression.
For me, a lifestyle change was absolutely the solution. No more meds! I'm very happy!

On the other hand...are you running away from a problem?
You sound just like me about 1.5 yrs ago. I don't think going back overseas will take care of anything. It will not take away the depression. You need to take an anti-depressant (if you are not already) and it will help you. It only took me 6 months, and I didn't need them anymore. You need to stop dwelling on what you don't like about your life and start making changes. Start looking for another job. It will not happen right away, but you will get there. Good luck.
We are all depressed at times. We are all bi-polar to a certain extent. It is the changes we make in our life that create the wave of our souls' ups and downs. If you make enough changes, there will be a crash, an explosion of satisfaction and contentment.
I think you should deal with your problems where you're at and not move back overseas. The unfamiliar surroundings may just make things worse. Try out small lifestyle changes-new hobbies, new job, etc. If you aren't already seeing someone, a counselor can help guide you through the things you are dealing with.
Running away is never the answer- but try focusing on the things you arn't happy about.. like the place you live, your job etc. Working in a place you hate is certainly not doing anything for your self esteem.. so, change it!

Relationships are important and it's amazing how much they can survive with a little work.. instead of finding new relationships- how about working on fixing the ones you have.. "sorry" may have to be a word that you use a lot.

Maybe instead of changing 'lifestyles' consider changing your outlook on LIFE? Make yourself get outta bed- exercise, listen to positive music, hang around with positive people.. life is way too short for you to be sitting in bed hating the life you have when with a bit of time and effort you can change your circumstance.

Serenity Prayer
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change- the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to know the difference."

good luck!
Have you talked to your doctor or therapist about this? It might help to sort it through with a professional who knows more of the details about your particular situation. It may be that what is best for you is a combination of medication and lifestyle changes.

Best of luck to you.

Will a complete change help me if i go overseas?

I have screwed everything up since returning home, and not been able to settle, i have severe depression and anxiety, have bene seeing a counsellor and on anti depressants but dont feel like i am getting better as it is my life i am unhappy with and the person i have become, i have screwed up all my freindships adn currently spend all my time with my family which is so depressing at the age of 23 and when i have been independent and had a great group of friends before, i jsut want to leave and i know its kind of running away but i dont see any alternative as if i dont i will most likely stay in this job that i hate, continue eating badly and living where i am and lying in my bed htinkinig in all my spare time..i'm wasting my life and i know it but dont know how to fix it and getback to the girl i used to be. My girlfriend is working in the greek islands so maybe where i have to go out in to the world and be independent will help me?
Answer:
going over seas might not be the best solution for you right now.the cultural shock alone can cuase depression.find a different med if this one isnt working for you...try a different counselor...but keep on keeping on.you will feel better.time is the key to depression.just remember you are not alone
First of all... GET OFF THE MEDICATIONS !!!

Those SSRI's and antipsychotics EAT YOUR BRAIN!

Serioiusly. get it out of your life! Along with the counsellors.
Here's a suggestion. You seem like the kind of person who is disturbed(upset) by the actions of those who you percieve as cruel or mean. Separate yourself from them, and learn who you are. I know from experience that certain people aggrivate us and ENJOY doing so. Were you born in the tenth month? if so reply to my e-mail address. Check out The Handbook of Chinese horoscopes, you will be happier around those born in the years of the dog, boar, rat, and ox, these are the positive and sympathetic signs. Cheer up. The kingdom of God is coming soon! Australia is full of nicer people or so my aunt tells me, she married an Australian and now lives there. Best of luck.
If you have a deep-seated problem with patterns of behaviors, then it's likely a 'complete change going overseas' will save you. It might look smooth in the beginning but it might bring back old habits in the way you relate with people. If you're always thinking others are the problem, you will never see how you contribute to the problem. You need to 'see' yourself first, for all its worth, don't be too hard on yourself though. Changes don't come overnight. Small transformations are internalised which takes years of trying out new habits, new defences, new ways of bonding, etc.

If you can find some success in your own home ground, this is when you can also find the same success or more outside of it. Those of us who go overseas thinking they can make it big, usually does, but only for a time.

You need to 'know' what it is that's causing you problems with people first. Work on them, take communication classes, assetiveness training, church has a lot of good inter-relationship workshops, etc. Work on yourself. It's worth it, you can go anywhere with it and find success with it. Then, just when you think you can do that, you don't have the 'itch' to live anywhere else but in the present! (if you know what i mean)

Wierd expierences?

I was sleeping one night and had a nasty dream.

I smelt the smell of vommit which had a pungent charactoristic smell that seems to burn my throat when I breathed the smell in.
It could then taste the vommit and the stomach acid in my mouth.
Then the sensation of smell and taste traveled all over my body to the piont my whole body was burning with the acidic smell and taste of the vommit.
It got so intense that when I woke up. I could still feel it stinging all over me and I was taken to hospital in an ambulance.

They gave me drugs and it went away.

Apparently my sister used to have the same dream when she was 4 years old and would screem for my mother "The sick is hurting me" and would seem to be in excrusiating pain.
They siad that she was just having nasty dreams and ignored it.

What the F happened to me? Is this heredatory?
Answer:
Its probably some sort of anxiety attack. The Doctors you consulted and treated you gave you "drugs and it went away". They must have done a thorough screening before prescribing any drugs, unless the drugs were a placebo, for your "ailment". Maybe you should consult a specialist. Explain your symptoms and what your sister similarly encountered several years ago. This may assist them to diagnose your problem. Get it treated if you are not comfortable and it persists.
woah. thats gross and really creepy.

Why?!?!?!?!?

why do some people turn emo or goth or watever it's called i don't get it.. i for one don't like it at all but thats my opinion but still wat does that mean?!?!
Answer:
It means that no two people think alike, and that each of us is entitled to express ourselves in the manner we choose.
Grow up little girl.
it means they are wack
why does anyone do anything? its the way they feel most comfortable. Just because you dont like it or dont understand it doesnt make it wrong.
Whats it matter how you dress or look?
Because it looks cool and different.
Everybody is different or tries to be different...People go through phases as well. It's just life.
Usually they feel that altering their appearance in a radical way will make a statement about their rebellion against authority. Sometimes it's just that they feel so different from everyone else that they want to express it through this type of dress. And sometimes it's a statement about a music choice.
People who just dont see light at the end of the tunnel , who hate their parents because of certain habits . People who just dont see the light side.
People do things based on many different reasons. If you want what they mean then I'll tell you. Emo-means emotinal and is generally people who cut their wrists. Goth-means people who have a dark outlook on life and generally dress in all black. Each person may have a different reason for the way they act of why they do these things. Maybe they have a rough home life or just a bad life in general. Maybe they were abused or even just doing it to fit in. You don't have to like it but you must respect that this is thier life style and the way they choose to live.

Hope that helps
JESS
It doesn't mean anything at all. It's just a clothing style that some people like. Some people like pink sweaters and think buttons and bows are cute, others think black little gadgety things on their pants are cool looking. Be more open about it. As for "emo" it's kind of two things, a style and a state of mind. There's the people that dress emo just because they just personally like the clothing style, and then there are those that are just really sad, those that need people to branch out and help them. A lot of my friends dress gothic. It doesn't bother me one bit- I love them for them, not how they dress. That's like telling someone "I think you're freaky because you wear your hats to the side and have your pants low"
a lot of it is just fashion and sub-culture

Why would someone lie with great detail and emotion about his past?

he tries to be a good husband and dad, works hard and supports the family, but i have uncovered a complex and lengthy web of outrageous lies he has told me since the day we met about his past...everything from being friends with certain celebrities to crying about his war injuries and time in viet nam...painted himself as a hero who bodyguarded important dignitaries to very specific purple hearts, etc...i've learned in the last 2 weeks that there is not one drop of truth to any of it...don't tell me to ask him...he started seeing a mental health professional, but i dare not confront him with these lies..too alarmingly shocking...he doesn't know i know the truth...he tells the same lies to friends, family and strangers..WHY? WHY? WHY? what mental illness would cause this?
Answer:
My ex was and still is the same. He is a pathological liar, and I believe the proper medical term is psychopath. He did the mental health professional thing but then stopped it, although he kept up the pretence of still attending and benefiting from it. His parents were unable to help him throughout his childhood and when he got older they buried their heads in the sand. Although he was a great guy and I loved him dearly, but every now and again, he became violent and for my safety and the children's we had to leave him. Ignoring the problem didn't help and confronting him certainly didn't. This is a professional problem that you are inadequate to deal with and it makes you look bad to other people too, unfortunately. A word of warning, keep on your toes with your children because they will or may have the same tendencies. If they are young, go out of your way to double check everything they claim and confront them if you notice a similar pattern. Good luck with this and try to take comfort with the fact that it is a mental problem that was there long before you came on the scene.
Shame..lack of feelings of accomplishment.

Are either of his parents or siblings like that? The apple doesnt fall too far from the tree
Maybe hes just a compulsive lier. I know a few people like that, they're constantly telling bullshi.t lies.
Some people have a medical condition where they seek sympathy or attention/praise.
maybe post traumatic disorder i think its called. Maybe he did live some of this stuff and is trying to hide it. Maybe he is embarresed about what he wrote or just wants to forget all about it. Maybe he didn't tell you his past because you may of not accepted him for who he was when you met him. Other types of mental illness that could cause this is a disorder where a person makes up a lots of lies to be center of attention. Maybe he wanted people to be intrested in what he did or what he said. I am not a professional, so i am not sure. I lived a horrible past with my first husband, there are things that my second hushgand found out from a friend that i didn't tell him. He was angry and confused, but i sat down with him and talked it through. Maybe telling him that you stumbled onto the website and saw what you saw. Just ask him about what you read and saw, maybe he will open up without you confronting him to much. Good luck and i hope it works out.
He just wants people to think he is Mr. great and all. Maybe it is for attention, or that he has just wishes he had done those things in his life. He feels better about himself when he can make people believe he was such a wonderful individual. I am glad he is seeking professional help. I wonder if he will be able to manipulate them too?
Hey there. It could be social anxiety. Maybe he feels so self conscious and unfufilled about his past that when he meets people he find the need to spice it up. When you ever meet someone totally new, do you ever feel compelled to overexagerate or tell them something not true to make them think your 'cooler'? I mean, I know I've said stuff to people just to impress them before.. I for one dont like being rejected and I like attention and for people to look up to me, and I think he wants the same. It must be soo tough to sit back there and hold your tongue! Have you talked to his mental specialist about this and for him to maybe discuss it with him? I think he just wants to flatter himself and get attention.. and really theres not a whole lot wrong with that except for the way he's doing it. I think you should just privately meet with his specialist and discuss a way you two can figure this out. It will probably frustrating for your hus. especially since in his mind he's told these stories so many times, they might actually appear real to him. I know its tough hon, but I think you've gotta get something figured out. Good luck to all of you and take care!
