I was such a gamer before i got ill, used to play around at least 8hours a day on my days off. I have plenty of games like League of Legends, Assassins creed, Guild Wars 2, Runescape membership. I just turn them on, look for a minute and turn them off. Gaming looks like a chore now…
Problem with the medication. I reduced my abilify to too low an amount recently, and nearly fell into psychosis. However, a side effect was that I started playing video games again a lot. I had the old buzz back.
So hopefully with some new meds in the future we will be able to play again.
Could be that your tastes changed. I’ve tried to play Assassin’s Creed Black Flag again and just felt dead inside. There was a time when it was fun. But after a game like Subnautica, Black Flag has lost its appeal.
i find it hard to play games sometimes.depends on age as well.maybe im growing old ,im losing interest you know,maybe.
Those are all repetitive games where you do the same things over and over to gain stats.
Perhaps you need a new game

I’m more of a seasonal video game player. In the summer I rarely touch the Switch or PS4. When it gets colder I’ll be playing more. And of course my frequent bouts of mini depressive episodes can be a factor as well.
My condition causes to much psychological pain and every time i try to play the voices tell me that they dont want me to play and cause me more pain i love games but its this damn schiz…
I just lost a month of Fallout 4 progress because I missed my chance to unlock the ballistic weave mod for underclothing. There’s a point in the game right after a mission turn-in where an NPC begs to talk to you and you need to talk to him and have a conversation about ballistic weave. If you leave that room without talking to him you miss your chance to unlock the weave because you can’t go back and get the conversation later. I started over and it’s depressing to lose 140 hours of work. I’m 10 hours into the second file and have my settlement already built, except for the hospital that requires another perk.
Normally I have no problem focusing on a game or having fun on it but starting one like this all over makes it a lot less fun. I just want that ballistic weave, it would let me keep my movement speed enhancing armor on instead of having to constantly hotkey swap it with my creation club doom marine armor every time I get into combat.
I’m playing on Survival mode so I only get to keep my three most recent saves, and fast travel is disabled.
I haven’t played a video game in years.
I used to play for 30min every other day with a friend but its been a week that my PC is broken. I ordered a new motherboard, it should be here tomorrow or after tomorrow.
i find if i exercise i get more more energy,and that motivates me.regardles if its a video game or looking for work,anything really.we mentally ill people have to be in the right mood.its very hard for us to do anything.
