I'm fucking going insane. I can't do ANYTHING without getting the urge to come back and F5 /jp/. How can I stop F5ing all day and actually do something productive instead, like finishing my enormous backlog of games?

Play a video game, 5 minutes in I have to go back and check /jp/. Then I end up leaving the console on for hours.
Play an eroge, have to stop every 3 minutes and check /jp/.
Studying Japanese, have to stop and check /jp/. My book lays there on the same page for hours.
Watch an anime, have to pause every 3 minutes and F5 /jp/. It takes me an hour and a half to finish an episode because I keep doing this. I realize I can't marathon anything anymore then I give up.

It's time for me to sleep and I realize I didn't get anything done at all. All my hours wasted on reading threads I don't even remember or care about. If I try to resist the urge I get jittery and can't stop thinking about 'JUST ONE PEEK' to see what's going on. If I don't satiate my urge to check /jp/ the tension becomes completely unbearable until I drop what I'm doing and give in. Repeat this for 2 years.

What the fuck is wrong with me? I'm slowly losing my self-control the more and more I give in to my urges, but I can't stop now matter how much I try to. I feel like a drug addict going through withdrawals. The drug that is F5ing /jp/ all day every day.

>> No.6341696

I like how most people would consider playing games unproductive, but you can't even be that productive.

Same thing for me. I was supposed to be playing Pokemon hours ago.

Do what you enjoy, that's the best way to live life.

If you want to practice self control, and you really, REALLY can't resist the urges, just go nuts and make it so that you don't want to put in the effort to go to /jp/ by putting it in storage or uninstalling the OS or something. It works for me, but I guess that's just because I'm a lazy fuck.

Get RefreshEvery OP!

That way, through the wonderous mystical powers of technology, you no longer have to press the F5 button...

Maybe get/borrow/steal/buy another monitor and browse /jp/ while watching anime?

I spend my entire day refreshing /jp/, waiting to see a shitpost and report it, then tell the person I reported that I reported their post, and specify a valid reason. I do this literally all day every day. Looking at my report counter, it just went down about 200 posts, to 1400. It was at about 1580 today. I wonder why that is.

You're going through a phase, OP. There are only 3 ways to break free of it:

1. Get a job
2. Get some friends
3. Find something else to do that is more autistic

Because on a very rare occasion, there shows up that one good thread that keeps you entertained while it lasts. Obviously you are addicted to that and keep browsing hours and hours to finally get your dose.

Oh and /jp/ is probably filling the blank slot called "social life". /jp/ does work as an equivalent, but it requires almost constant activity to work as such.

Same here, I know it's a slow board, replies are at least from 2-5 minutes anywhere up to a week. Just can't stop browsing, I'm here like 16 hours a day just clicking refresh every minute or so. If I go to play a game or watch something, I'll stop it every 5 minutes to refresh /jp/
I don't even shower because I know I'd miss something good (haha as if right.) It's not even a good quality board, it's mostly meta threads, /a/ and general shit posting, still I come back every day and sit here refreshing and refreshing and refreshing.

/jp/ just got so boring for me. I'm getting on in the middle of my homework now, and I'm going right back to work because fiscal policy and the determinants of national income are somehow way more interesting than 99% of what's on the front page. Always the same Touhou/silly hats/Nasuverse powerlevel/tedious tripfag bullshit. I've seen it all before.

Why don't a few of you write a VN or something? And, you know, actually follow through on it. That could be interesting.

the only cure is extreme measures which will probably hurt you but will do more good in the end such as cancelling your internet or putting away your computer somewhere.

this worked for my friend but not for me, it only made me want it more, i got a job but couldn't hold it long enough (imagine having a job after not being outside for months) and I'm back to where I am.

So far I've spent 10 hours on /jp/ today. Pulled myself away for 30 minutes to play on my DS, and an hour to watch Panty&Stocking and some Hidamari Sketch x365.

I'll be refreshing for the next 4 - 5 hours.

>> No.6345219

You know, /jp/ has more than one page and it's slow.
It's possible to be away all day and when you turn on /jp/ you will find all the new threads as you browse through the pages without having missed a single one. Then you open the threads you like in tabs and let them refresh themselves using 4chan X. You can even bump a thread if it was on page 10 but seemed interesting enough to get more replies.

I always do this every time after I wake up.
