If you spend much of your time on the internet, IPhone, or Blackberry, you may have an addiction which has only been recently discovered. It has not yet been featured on CNN, Larry King Live, or Oprah, but I think the folks at the Colbert Report and Daily Show may be victims. I'm sure it will be featured soon. You may be one of the first to discover it in yourself, friend or family.You know if you have a twitter addiction if:
- All of your friends’ names start with @
- You name your dog @buddy
- You sign your work email @job
- You don’t read emails that aren’t highlighted replies to you
- Your mom joined Twitter to chat with you
- All you want for your birthday is unlimited SMS use on your cell phone
- You tweeted your marriage proposal
- You tweeted your marriage proposal acceptance
- You tweeted while saying your marriage vows
- You tweet from your candlelight anniversary dinner that you are celebrating…by candlelight
- Your kids have to tweet you to get you to make dinner
- You tweet live commentary during the inauguration
- You tweet before you start the coffee in the morning
- You stay up all night thinking of making up words like tweeple, tweetheart, tweettooth, twacholate, twoffee
- You tweet while biking otherwise known at twiking
For those of you who don’t know what Twitter is, its a virus and there is no antibiotic to cure it. (I know antibiotics are for bacteria.)
As a Medical Intuitive, I predict legions of Twitter Anonymous Tweetups (TAT) and Tweet Patches stock going through the roof!
Not everyone who stops Tweeting experiences withdrawal symptoms, but most people who have been Tweeting for a long period of time, or Tweet frequently, or Tweet heavily, will experience some form of withdrawal symptoms if they stop Tweeting suddenly.
There is no way to predict how any individual will respond to slowing down the pace of Twittering. If you plan to stop Tweeting and you have been Tweeting for years, or if you Tweet heavily when you do Tweet, or even if you Tweet moderately but frequently, you should consult a Twithdrawal professional before going "cold twurkey.
Withdrawal symptoms can appear within a few minutes, hours or several days after discontinuation.
Withdrawal symptoms may or may not include:
Mild to moderate symptoms:
* Feeling of jumpiness or nervousness
* Feeling of missing the conversation
* Following strangers at the mall
* Irritability or easily excited
* Difficulty with typing anything over 140 characters
* Twitching
* Involuntary finger movements
* Insomnia, sleeping difficulty
Severe symptoms:
* IPhone envy
* Sneaking off to Facebook to update your status (at least you weren’t tweeting!)
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms don’t worry, I’m here to help with a holistic approach. As a Medical Intuitive, I know that to heal any dis-ease you must treat all areas of your life, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, sometimes including reiki, eft or energy work/healing.
