你有没有患上Nomophobia??

一名英国女子患上“无手机恐惧症”（nomophobia）后，除了手机不离身之外，假如是手机讯号不良或是手机电量低于60%时，她都会出现焦虑丶心跳加速丶发抖等症状。更可怕的是，她还因为担心手机被偷走，而不敢放在包包里面，而选择放在胸罩内。

27岁的Sara Jayne Widdowson只要每次出门，手机和充电器一定带在身上。此外，手机讯号也得良好，如果是收讯不佳，她宁可待在家里。当Sara Jayne Widdowson得到人生第一架手机时，她说“如果是我遇到危险情况，我就可以在第一时间打电话求助。”但没想到从此之后，她就非常的依赖手机，情况愈来愈严重；虽然她也曾求助医生，但似乎还没找到解决的方法。

根据专家对于这个字的定义：“a proposed name for the phobia (intense, irrational fear) of being out of mobile phone contact. It is, however, arguable that the word “phobia” is misused and that in the majority of cases it is another form of anxiety disorder.” 也就是说，这种恐惧症本来是一种心理病态。所以不要错怪手机，

英国一个调查显示，大约66%的手机使用者都会出现这种“手机上瘾”的症状，都担心恐怕没有手机的日子。

那么，该如何能有效测试自己是否患上此病症呢？

哈哈，很简单，将你的手机放在床头不要动一天，试试看…

不过，比较专业一点的方式，就是自己回答数个问题，如果得分越高，病态越严重：

Determine your level by answering each of the following questions on a scale from one to seven, where one (1) is “strongly disagree” and seven (7) is “strongly agree”. Score yourself by adding up the numbers: the higher the number, the more severe your nomophobia.

Questions:

1. I would feel uncomfortable without constant access to information through my smartphone.
2. I would be annoyed if I could not look information up on my smartphone when I wanted to do so.
3. Being unable to get the news on my smartphone would make me nervous.
4. I would be annoyed if I could not use my smartphone and/or its capabilities when I wanted to do so.
5. Running out of smartphone battery would scare me.
6. If I were to run out of credits or hit my monthly data limit, I would panic.
7. If I did not have a data signal or could not connect to Wi-Fi, then I would constantly check to see if I had a signal or could find a Wi-Fi network.
8. If I could not use my smartphone, I would be afraid of getting stranded somewhere.
9. If I could not check my smartphone for a while, I would feel desires to check it.

If I did not have my smartphone with me:

1. I would feel anxious because I could not instantly communicate with my family and/or friends.
2. I would be worried because my family and/or friends could not reach me.
3. I would feel nervous because I would not be able to receive text messages and calls.
4. I would be anxious because I could not keep in touch with my family and/or friends.
5. I would be nervous because I could not know if someone had tried to get a hold of me.
6. I would feel anxious because my constant connection to my family and friends would be broken.
7. I would be nervous because I would be disconnected from my online identity.
8. I would be uncomfortable because I could not stay up-to-date with social media and online networks.
9. I would feel awkward because I could not check my notifications for updates from my connections and online networks.
10. I would feel anxious because I could not check my email messages.
11. I would feel weird because I would not know what to do.

简单来说，只要您是机不离手，没有手机如同与世界断绝，看不到即时消息或新闻就心理不安，时时刻刻都要摸一摸手机，甚至最担心的是，没有手机，就没有生活圈子。恭喜你！
