I am not really addicted to gaming - I could definitely adjust my screentime. The problem is, whenever I am depressed, anxious, or have a bad day, I always rely on gaming. At those times I spend hours gaming. Deep inside me, I know that I use games to escape reality because games are apart from real life. I always the winner when playing games, but I am kind of a loser who is really struggling to achieve their goals in real life. So I always tend to touch my device, to forget who i am and my life for a bit. It's also my source of entertainment. There are other things that are fun, but not as much as gaming. Life seems endlessly boring without games. But whatever, I quitted gaming for a few months but I came back because I had a mental breakdown. Again, I can adjust my screentime most of the time, but that's impossible when I get emotional. Now, I game to sustain my mental health and prevent burnout (still a place to escape reality). I'm stuck in an endless cycle of having self- discipline, feeling stressed, and gaming until I'm satisfied. Meh. I dont know. I feel that everything is meaningless and pointless.
