Hello TSR,
As the title of my thread states, I would say that I'm addicted to revision!
I'm currently in Year 11 and I have been revising for about three months for my GCSE Exams in the Summer of 2013.
Every night I usually do between 2 - 4 hours of revision and around 4 - 6 hours of revision on Saturdays and Sundays.
The thing is, I feel like I'm doing something wrong and feel quite guilty when I'm having a break from revision. Sounds weird, I know. For example, if I was to watch TV for 30 mins I would feel bad that I hadn't spent that time revising.
I know this sounds absolutely crazy! I think most people have the opposite problem to me! Most people in my year at school haven't even started revision for their Summer Exams yet!
Does anyone else feel like this too? Don't really know what responses I'll get to this thread, if any!

Well, you're probably gonna go pretty far with a work ethic like that :/ I only managed to get myself to revise in the week before all my exams, I can't imagine the self discipline you must have! What are your aims/aspirations?

Yes I know. However, when I stop working I feel bad - as if I should be working all the time!

Although, I'm not very ambitious in terms of aspirations. I want to be a teacher

I don't see why over-working should be bad.
This is a good thing, though perhaps it's superfluous at the GCSE stage. Just make sure you also remember how to have a life after exams, because in the end they aren't everything - but if they are for 5 months and you reap the rewards then good for you!

I really wish I had your addiction, really. I envy you 
Think of it as a positive and don't feel guilty taking time off from revision. You'll be laughing your way to the exam room when the summer comes and make things much easier for you. Keep at it
