Do you ever get that feeling?

Do you ever get that feeling of wanting to know more about stuff, or if you don't read the news for a while you feel that you are slightly detached from the world?

Sometimes I get depressed that I won't live until the end of the universe because I want to learn about everything that is, has and will be.

Yes. I have to know what's going on in the world. When I wake up I put on BBC news and I check my various news apps on my phone.

I don't get too attached to the any of the usual TV programs. I watch very little of it now to be truthful, and I feel better for it. Don't forget, some of the time it's only someone's opinion that you're hearing. Why should you take it to be the 'real' truth? People think they don't but 'it' is very subtle and works on many levels.

Stuck out here in Cyprus and mainly getting a diet of sh** soap operas on the TV I do feel isolated, although it's nice to see the weather forecast every now and then, normally while sitting on the patio with a cold tinny

I think I have OCD with news, check it every 2 hours

This. I've got about 7 different news apps on my iPhone that I check regularly.

I have ocd when it comes to sports news.

I freak out when I don't know who the latest moron getting Katie Price up the duff is.

I’m always checking the news and weather.

I enjoy this feeling.

Opposite way around for me, I read the news and feel detached from reality, wondering when that slipped cog in the machinery of life will re-engage and get us back on track.
