You made some really good points here. It's true, I don't feel any benefits that I've read there should be. And the first day I've spent without gaming (today) was scary... I don't know this world that well. I put all my efforts to run away from it. And deleting all the games.. I felt SO uncomfortable.. you know... social anxiety.. all my friends are in those games. The thing is I CAN go 90 days. I am stubborn as hell, I will make it, but I also know for sure it will be hell. Luckily, this site is a good resource, there's plenty of information telling HOW to, I saw Cam is selling some premium stuff which I might get also. So yeah, thank you for this well made post!

Thank you guys for replies, I've spend almost 10 hours (from my main post) just reading this website, digging in to facts, and the poof seems quite solid, you have really valuable information here! I also found Gary Wilson (Cam mention him in a video). It's a shame I didn't find this earlier, having in mind how much time I spend on internet/Youtube. Since nothing else works, I thing this might be it. I'm uninstalling games as I write this post, and you have no idea how anxious I feel (or maybe you do).

Just as a title says I hope to find some answers here, from people, who experienced it. I'm 27 years old, been gaming for as long as I can remember, and my life is fucked up obviously... I've been depressed and suffered from social anxiety for YEARS. I am not motivated to do anything.. Life feels dull, nothing excites me, everything looks so pointless. I only play games for 10 hrs a day.. So, can video games cause me all of this? I mean, did it affect my brain in some way? I used tons of different medications, without any luck, none of them helped, and if it doesn't help, it means that stimuli that caused all of this is still present in my life, can it be gaming? But the thing is internet is FULL of "scientific studies" which claim that gaming is good for you, it increases reaction, concentration, memory, even battles depression! Many of such studies can be found just by googling for 2 mins, and then there are a few papers about how gaming is dangerous, how it causes a chronic stress, how it can increase anxiety, cause social phobias etc... so, what to believe?? Can quitting gaming really help? is it my overstimulated brain, with huge amount of dopamine makes me feel that way? I just REALLY need an advise from people, who faced this. Thank you.
