As a 36-year-old man dealing with gaming addiction, I understand the struggle of trying to find balance in life beyond the screen. It’s not easy to admit that gaming has taken over and impacted my mental health, but I’m here seeking support and guidance. I’ve realized that I need to make changes and prioritize my well-being. I want to be able to enjoy gaming in moderation without it consuming me. I know it won’t be easy, but I’m determined to take small steps towards a healthier mindset. I’m looking for advice from others who have overcome gaming addiction and found a more balanced approach to their hobbies and mental health. Any tips and support would be greatly appreciated.
