Gracie, you're right--it is not so terrible--for most people. But I seem to be so easily addicted and lose hours and hours--I have so much time to "relax" -- that is not my problem. I tend to waste a lot of time on the computer and lose track of time. And often, the longer I get into these inert modes, the harder it is for me to get moving again. And I get more depressed.
AND, I get really caught up in it--in kind of an OCD way. After I started counting moves in Freecell, I also noticed myself counting everything all the time. I'd catch myself counting steps as I walk, etc. This is an OCD thing and it is agitating for me.
But I'm not knocking computer games for other people. A lot of people find them relaxing and fun. I just need to stay away from them right now.
