I know! I had a real problem with Facebook too. Mine were Mafia Wars, Vampire Wars, and Castle Age. Same schedule as you.

And I came to the same realization. I was obsessively clicking each game, and waiting for my countdown timer to expire so I could do another round…

So, I dumped them too. Except I left my Vampire Wars game going so Blackie could use it as an ally. But she logs in and plays my account, not me.

I’m still on Facebook just as much, I’m just not playing the games any more. *sigh*

Facebook eats my soul on a daily basis. Status updates in the morning and during “breaks” at work and meaningless time consuming games at night. I find myself thinking “why am I upstairs feeding fake fish when my husband is down, OOOO free dragon fruit for Restaurant City!!!”. It must be stopped. I envision myself deleting the application, temporarily terminating my account…but then i freak out and i can’t do it.

And I certainly should be doing that, too. My problem is, I can’t let any good info escape. IT ALL MUST BE CONSUMED.

Because of that, I feel a little stress hitting the “Mark all as read”, like I’m leaving food on my plate, ya know? On the other hand, if you’ve seen me recently, you know I SHOULD be leaving food on my plate occasionally.

Definitely, though it dates back to days when I belonged to 50 or so email lists and newsgroups. I do have too many feeds in my Google Reader, but for the most part, I just select and “Mark all as read” when I don’t feel like diving in. I still like having the feeds there, but I focus on just a dozen or two.
