hello everyone. i am new to this group. i am really not an video game addict to the point it ruins my relationships. i would some advice if thats okay. i have been playing my game, but lately it's like ive been out of it. the reason is i dont have that power like i used to with playing video games, it is something i very much enjoy doing.

i used to watch tv and play my game a lot, but lately my mom has been watching the news and tiger woods to the point where i have lost interest in tv or maybe video games. :( i dont know if its my depression kicking in, i have been working hard to get my degree so i have been busy a lot and havent really thought about video games. it seems like stuff i like is getting bored to me which i dont want that to happen i just dont want depression to take over my life, its been doin that for 12 yrs! i havent really been active in anything that i have enjoyed doing.

does anyone have any advice or opinions?

" Hmm really doesn't sound like you have really a video game addiction at all, It really does sound more like depression which I think sometimes brings along the video gaming. When you get depressed as a video gamer you either eat and become unhealthy with weight and condition, or you start to video game non stop. Not knowing what game your really addicted too the best advice I can give you if gaming is becoming more and more in your life, bite the bullet and back off it to the degree were you limit yourself to very minimal usage or none at all. I spent the past 5 years of my life highly addicted to MMORPG's and lost a lot of my life and relationship with my wife, due to the gaming in my life. "
