Internet Cravings

I have a handful of mental disorders, and among them is a pretty strong case of ADHD. My ADHD loves the internet, it loves instant gratification, and it loves thinking of the most interesting things in the world to Google while I'm trying to do homework. Even when I'm medicated and not super influenced by my ADHD, I've realized that I constantly have cravings to Google things. Throughout an average day, there are tons of things I want to look up. Sometimes it's answers to questions, sometimes it's historical facts, sometimes it's just that I really really really want to look at some cool sound system setups, and sometimes I need to prove to someone that I'm right. Whatever the case, if I don't have my phone with me and my itch can't be scratched, it's really irritating. Not day-ruining, but probably more of an issue than it should be. On the one hand, I'm addicted to my phone, but on the other hand, at least I'm fully appreciating the technology I have that many others never had access too. I have learned so much from the internet, and although it has it's downsides, I'm grateful for it.
