Do You Suffer From Nomophobia?! I do... 

Previous Posts

If you can't stand being away from your cell phone, you have Nomophobia. 

Nomophobia is a new, made-up term that's short for "no mobile phobia."  It started in Great Britain, where they call phones "mobiles."

Symptoms include getting anxious when you don't have your phone, worrying about losing it, keeping an extra phone in case yours breaks, and bringing your phone to bed.

Two out of three people in a recent survey said they have one or more of those symptoms, which is up 13% from a similar survey four years ago.

70% of women say they're nomophobes, compared to 61% of men. And 77% of people under age 25 are nomophobic.

LOL!  You know you have it!!!
