Desease of the mind

Hello

IM afraid im soo addicted to scripting, that i will go crazy!
IM afraid i cant stop doing this! its really annoying!
i cant imagine the idea of stopping doing this thing, and do another thing..

I cant live without sometimes scripting..
Will this make me crazy and mentally ill when i get like a elder

For me it has no fun when away from the PC, though i know i get tired of this screen in front of me, i cant leave it?

programmmingholic?

same problem...

An old boss of mine once said: If you start having dreams about your work, it's time to go on holiday.

In this case, without a computer.

Try something else instead, go get drunk, or visit Holland's Coffeeshops. That'll make you forget all about how important your work is. I guarantee.

Don´t take it too serious.
Don´t take everything too serious, including yourself.

If it´s a desease, it can be healed:

Important: Nothing is wrong with you!
(Even if you can´t understand or describe your feelings)

If you´re feeling really bad, you should see a therapist which you trust. You´ll notice very quickly if you talk the same language.

If not, better search for another therapist.

maybe Mania and Bipolar disorder are a bit.... far fetched
I think that Michael is right, have a vacation, or at least spend some time without the computer... when you are spending less time with scripting, things will get easier. Find other things to do, preferably as far as possible from the computer
I am not sure about the coffeeshops.....
I like the quote Michael did, and I think it he's also right in it.
Well, if you succeed to get over it, you could spend discoveries with the rest of the forum users, so we can get over the addiction as well

No the thing is , i dont think anything more interesting in along term than programming!

Im afraid i cant stop ,
I feel sick when i dont do this.
lol

You can cure yourself with... programming!
Just compile and run this with any C/C++ compiler:


Then you will suddenly be unable to program and regret that you were programming!

(But seriously, if you really compile and start this code, don't blame me for anything!)

oh come on what a joke EHHE

well, I think I am not addicted to programming for 100 % because I am also sometimes bored of programming, I just go to bed than...

happens often in the last week...

You won´t believe how many people suffering from these neuroses.
These are no "real" disorders, but more or less "obsessive features".

The key is always:
Don´t take it / them / yourself too serious.

Sounds too easy, but that´s it.

Edit: Example:



You WANT (!) to feel sick (your subconscious mind wants to feel sick when you stop coding)!

Seriously, don´t take it too serious.
You won´t die if you stop.

You can also just turn your addiction into something productive. Use this energy to create some applications you can sell to a target audience. Learn some other programming languages and try to find some gaps in the software market.

But you should not only concentrate on programming. You also have to learn algorithms, approaches, code pattern and other techniques. This is often more important than a programming language because you can apply knowledge like this to many of them.

But you probably already know this better than I do.

So make some nice tools, some working AI components or whatever, learn to write good documentation and help and how to distribute them.

Dont work against your passion, use this energy, but use it wisely to not destroy your health!

yeah i know..
its like i love this stuff, im in love with this.. and cant stop for too long

There's a quick cure, if cannabis is legit where you live. (you'll still be crazy wild about programming, but hey, everything else will seem a little better too.)
