    Ok I read that. Thanks for recommendation!
    Looks like I have a lot of things to do today.
    Let's start with taking care of myself and hygiene stuff and as you suggest - breaking cleaning up my room into smaller pieces.
    If I start to work remotely from a clean room, I'd definitely feel better.

    @BooksandTrees It's really complex situation and I don't really know if I can describe it here properly.
    I'm working with my therapist a lot on my case of technology addiction and it helps me a lot.
    I am aware that my willpower is not enough. The biggest struggle is when I am home alone and don't have any alternative activity to do. What do you suggest to fill my free time instead of gaming?

    I gamed for 50 minutes. God damn it. 50 fuckin minutes.

    I have to stop. Uninstalled the game that made me play.

    It's all on my mind. I can take care of this.

    Internet time off.

    I see it's a good habit to write here a post each time I start and finish using Internet. I just feel I need it.

    Oh, I feel you. Maybe it is because you removed something significant to yourself without giving in return. I would feel heartbroken in that case. How about a new hobby? So you would do something different yet engaging instead of sitting and brooding.

     

    I relate to this 100%. I have to take care of my work, but I don't feel motivation or energy for this. Whenever I'm under pressure I can't engage into other hobby activities.
    I walked yesterday for 30 minutes and it helped me relieve some pressure, but also made me more tired.

    @Erik2.0 Yeah, I watched couple of testimonies of other people about the same problem I have and same of hmm tutorials? About how to quit video games in 60 seconds or 90 day detox. I have to watch all of the videos on a playlist start here.

    Hello.

    Hello. 
    I started gaming 20 years ago. Right now I struggle with not only gaming but internet and generally media usage. It's really severe. I can neglect things that are important for me, despite negative consequences. I failed a lot of things due to my addiction. I neglected my health drastically due to my addiction. I lost a lot of important relationships due to my addiction.
    My addiction is confirmed by specialists - I've been working on this for about a decade on my own and for about 2 years with couple of therapists - it helped me in the process, but I still have a lot of work to do. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing control of my life and it sucks. Sometimes I feel depressed and anxious. I think it's especially difficult for me, because I work 100% remotely on my laptop, and I don't have anyone who's checking my results.
    I hope this forum will help me with living the life sober.
    I named myself Empathy, because my counselor once said, that this is one of my biggest skill I have, if I'm living away from my addiction obviously.
