I used to play video games a great deal. More truthfully, it could be argued that I was an addict. Having said that, it wasn’t long until I realized that after a little time of playing games for video, my power to think about on real-world problems had become afflicted to a worrying degree. Even worse, I also found out that I was a lot more bad-tempered and tended to be much more militant when dealing with others. Strangely, this didn’t seem connected to the kind of game on video I was playing, more precisely, playing my non violent games on video didn’t decrease my aggressiveness.
Another noticeable symptom of wasting my valuable time on games on video was that after having played for a certain length of time, quite often I would end up feeling weary and lethargic when I had completed a gaming session.
The symptom that concerned me most however, was the ongoing urge to play more video games. I began to seewhat being an addict feels like. I am positive that the games for video I played had taken an intense grasp on me to a possibly devastating degree. The situation affected my family, my job and my circle of friends. On reflection, It is hard to understand how awful my life had become. It was my good fortune then, I have a tolerant and compassionate other half who gave me a great deal of help in working out my difficulties and I came out the other side a more resilient and rational person.
I’m still a video gamer but, after setting myself a rulebook and ensuring that I adhere to them, I’m now a blissful, gamer.
I firmly believe that people who matter, such as psychiatrists, family, other halves, teachers etc., need to start instigating some positive action to understand and take action against, the most deceptive effects of gaming in order to stop this ever-worsening problem from becoming a widespread epidemic.
