Lol I find your comment funny “taking the fun out of everything”
I have met people who really are driven hard by their “gaming addiction” though. There’s a big line between liking games and being addicted and it disrupting your life. Still find your comment funny/insightful but I have met some serious gamers!!

I think trophies system has contributed to gaming addiction. It’s a false sense of achievement.
I used to game more than I do now (though not an addict) but back then it was more of a distraction. It always has been.
Now I am more well i game less. I discovered it was a distraction and not much fun value.
I need more relief of negative symptoms. Id like to have fun too. In a way I wish I was an addict too.
But maybe not…

I’m not sure it’s a real thing I mean I’ve met people obsessed with games before but I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who goes through withdrawals.
Although I admit I’m a bit biased cause I play a lot of games but I think they need more distinctive criteria for defining it as an “addiction”
Tbh I think the only reason it’s getting treated like this is because games are very popular.
I’ve had a couple of doctors tell me I’m an addict to video games just because of how much I play. Which honestly couldn’t be further from the truth.
Yeah I play a lot but really what else am I supposed to do when I’m scared of the public have 8000 health issues and struggle to even get out of bed. Also its really my only social platform.
In conclusion I call bs.

It is true that many doctors aren’t familiar with videogames, but once you have made the distinction between doing a thing a lot and being addicted to it, these addictions and the withdrawal is very real.

Because I was completely sick. When I closed myself in the dark room the immersion has really helped me to completely forget the outside environment. It was worth the cost.
well thank goodness i don’t have this… disorder
(due to my desktop being too old)
Theyre prob gonna prescribe them antidepressants. Antipsychotics seem far too serious.
