    What happens when you start living like one of the characters, after watching it back to back for 24 days? That's still not an addictive personality, it's you saying that I like this, and I wan't to do this. That not addiction, I think you are trying to pin everyone with OCD, which would be an addiction personality disorder, where you whole life revolves around you do certain things during the day, some can manage, some can't. (I will leave it their)

    Alot of posters seem to think that an addiction is what they like, (it's not)

    Alot of people seem to think an addiction personality disorder, (OCD) is because your body is addicted to something, it not you are addicted, and to get over it your body needs to sort it's self out, to feel normal again (it's an addiction)

    Why is everyone wanting to use these words and upgrading themselves to feel more important, is all of our lives that unsufferable (or simple) we want to have an incurable illiness. Really ????

    Incase no one answers they can have them with my blessing :)

    If you are trying to suggest that both drug and alcohol addiction and abuse of each are simply life choices, as opposed to addictive substances physically, particularly for those even more vulnerable to such addictions with psychological/ addictive personality issues..........then cop the **** on................its been proven medically how not only addictive they are for regular, everyday individuals.............but for individuals suffering from depression, addictive personality etc........they are not only 10 times as addictive, but also prey on underlying life problems for those sufferers even more.

    Such an ignorant, misunderstanding and un-enlightened post, I only hope you do better in future post wise, and educate yourself further on mental and addiction issues, so that you can see were others are regarding what they are dealing with surrounding personality and addiction issues.

    Substance addiction is quite different to OCD obviously. A non sufferer cannot comprehend OCD, and its fcuking ridiculous if a person thinks that some little oddity they perform relates to them having the condition.

    Please forgive me, but I was pointing out how some people, seem to jump on the band wagon on occasions, and if I avend , you I'm turly sorry, he/she actual offended me, I again apologies if his or my posts offended you, but he was suggesting that addiction was similar to OCD, or an personality disorder, very much as it is assumed me (I) is a GID disorder, as I said to him and you and him he had no right, to diagnosed us, again as I said apologies for making you post that, but I suffer from depression every day and I know what the idea of losing everything you might love, to be yourselve, don't every come down the hammer on me, when you have no idea of me. Please don't

    After all I agreed with you.

    You should have read my post instead of jumping down my throught, please really actually re re read it, please and thank you, but as I pointed out your not OCD, which is what the OP suggested, you are addicate, so am I, that's not a small thing, but I don't have an addictive personality, I'm addicated to a certain amount of things, some healthy, some not, Like fried food for the last 6 months, cigs and drink, due to what I guessing could be depression, I still don't have an addictive personality, I am an addict to certain things, that make me feel good immediately and will kill me adventually

    I think everyone has the capacity to become addicted to something. But some seem to be more than others. Its the feelgood chemicals in the brain thats gives you the stimulation and buzz and makes you want coming back for more. Ive been going cold Turkey on irish breakfasts this last while. jesus this porridge stuff makes me narky :mad:

    Whats in it for me?.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,308 ✭✭✭Hersheys


    I'm addicted to the buzz off self harm.

    I'm pretty sure I'm also addicted to my anti depressants.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,308 ✭✭✭Hersheys


    I also think there's a world of difference between addiction & obsession.

    I know I'm addicted to coffee, cigarettes and the internet. Of the three, I'd probably find it easier to give up cigarettes as I have done in the past, but the coffee and internet usage.. NEVER!!!!!
