I have a serious problem. I like to gamble on the phone or on the PlayStation. But I mean, I'm slowly crossing the line. I raced out, even breaking aggression, things. But I just do not learn my lesson. I play 7-10h every day. Slowly I do not remember what's real anymore. For example, when I'm tired and stop playing, it's like I'm still gambling and being in the gaming world. In addition, I have neglected everything that I would like to do, such as meeting with friends, learning for school (Naguuut we're now on vacation) or playing football / doing sports. Since the holidays are over, I have not even left the house. How can one overcome this addiction? Please help me. By gambling, I also became emotionless, I do not cry or laugh. The only feeling I have is that I get aggression when things get bad. I just force myself to gamble…
Gambling has been recognized as an addiction, so go to the family doctor, who should refer you to the therapist.
Seek professional help. An addiction can't be overcome so easily alone.
Lowbob. I do not play less, but even more.
I do not have any aggression problems and can very well differentiate between reality and virtuality.
Good that you are not addicted to alcohol, or people would beat up.
What I can recommend: camping trip or vacation. Just times (ideally 1 month, but 2 weeks would be nice) without a cell phone or technology in nature. One day hiking, other climbing park, relax, wellness / thermobath, whatever).
Even if you do not feel like it. Make yourself something to experience. Nobody can help you out except yourself. (Unless your parents destroy your gaming stuff and take the phone away from you).
I thank you. I already thought about going camping for 1-2 weeks to get my head clear. I do not just have this one addiction.
