Reporting on Game Addiction—Tell Me Your Story

[Marina]

Hi, I'm Marina, a health writer with The Epoch Times based in New York.

I'm currently working on an in-depth article exploring how games draw people in, and I'd be very interested to hear from you—how you got into gaming, what initially appealed to you, and when (if at all) you felt gaming shifted from a net positive to a net negative in your life.

I've previously written a similar piece on screen time and mental health. This upcoming story will be similar in style and depth. For reference, here's the article:

If you're interested in sharing your story or have any questions, feel free to reply here or email me via the contact listed in my byline. Thanks!

Hey Marina, I’d be interested to tell you my story I didn’t see your email but please do let me know how to get in touch 🙂 

 

Ive been gaming for about 30 years on and off. I’ve been anywhere from years long abstinence to 40+ hours a week. And am journaling here to try to moderate it today.

Hi Goku,

Thank you very much for your interest! Yes, I'm still taking interviews. You can either send me an email to [email protected] or you can DM me. 

I have already sent a DM your way.

Looking forward to your reply!
