online gaming addiction stories

One common pattern is neglecting real - life responsibilities. For example, not going to work or school regularly. Another is the deterioration of relationships as they focus more on the game than on family and friends.

I heard about a girl who became addicted to an online multiplayer game. She started to isolate herself from the outside world. She would rather play the game than engage in any social activities. Her sleep pattern was completely disrupted. She only realized how bad it was when she started to have mental health issues like anxiety and depression due to the excessive gaming.

One horror story is about a young man who was so addicted to gaming that he neglected his health. He hardly ate or slept, just focused on the game. Eventually, he had a serious breakdown and had to be hospitalized due to extreme exhaustion and malnutrition.

Gaming addiction could lead to a variety of psychological problems, such as anxiety, depression, and inferiority. Addicts often used games as an important source of self-identity. They could not find self-identity in real life and were even ostracized. They could only find a sense of identity and release from games. Some children who were placed with high hopes and strict requirements were easily rebellious after puberty and used games as a means to fight against their parents. When they invested too much energy in the game, they would feel powerless when facing other things such as studying, resulting in anxiety. They would lie flat while feeling anxious. The more anxious they were, the more they felt that they could not do other things well. In the perception of gaming addiction, games were not only entertainment, but also a symbol of belonging. They felt accepted, loved, and recognized in the game. Once they left the game, they might experience withdrawal symptoms such as emptiness, anxiety, and difficulty in communicating with others. In addition, game addiction may lose themselves in real life, reduce their self-discipline, induce hostility, and when they encounter setbacks, they are more inclined to escape into the game world instead of actively facing the challenges in real life.

One way is to seek professional help. There are therapists and counselors who specialize in gambling addiction. They can provide strategies and support to help the addict break free. Another option is to join support groups. These groups consist of people who have been through or are going through the same situation. Sharing experiences can be very helpful.

Well, I knew a woman who was really into online shopping. She once bought ten pairs of shoes in a single day because there was a big discount. Her house was filled with unopened packages. She often found herself spending hours just browsing through different shopping websites, even when she didn't really need anything. And then there was a young man. He got addicted to buying collectibles online. His room was overcrowded with all those items he bought online.

To help children get rid of gaming addiction, you can start from the following aspects: 1. ** Parental Concept and Companion **: - Parents should change their mindset and recognize the variety of companionship. Accompanying children was not just at home or tutoring homework. They had to let the children feel the care and love of their parents and experience the happiness outside of the game. For example, accompany the child more to find real fun, encourage the child more, play games with the child, let the child get rid of loneliness, and actively integrate into life. - Give the child enough love and encouragement. Children can get an immediate sense of accomplishment in the game (such as passing the level, being praised, etc.), but this kind of real-time encouragement may be lacking in the family. Parents should give true and timely evaluation and encouragement to their children's daily behaviors (such as mopping the floor) to enhance the sense of participation in the family atmosphere. 2. ** Leading the child out of the house **: - She took advantage of her child's curiosity to take her on a trip. She let the light and warmth of nature shine into her child's body and mind, making her more sunny and cheerful. - Parents set an example and take their children to exercise together. Because there was always a need for physical and mental health on the road, more exercise would help the child's physical and mental health. - Let the children participate in real-life games, understand the world, integrate into the world, and embrace the world. 3. ** Let the child know the dangers of gaming addiction **: Let the child understand that gaming addiction is a mental illness that is no less harmful than alcoholism and gambling. For example, some people will forget to eat and sleep when they play games, and it will develop into a state of depression, slow thinking, dizziness, trembling hands, and loss of appetite every day. 4. ** Controlling the child to play with the phone **: - With the help of parent control software (such as Maimiao Guardian), the parents could set the time for their children to play the phone every day. Once the time was over, the phone would automatically lock the screen. - Strictly control the content of children's mobile phones, set up not allowing children to open game applications, block game websites, and block websites that are not conducive to children's healthy development. 5. ** Divert the child's attention **: - It was best for parents to participate in outdoor activities with their children, such as expanding their CS activities. This would deepen the family relationship and let the children let down their guard. - It could guide the child to shift his attention to his studies. As his studies progressed, his interest in games might decrease. It could also help the child develop other hobbies, such as playing basketball, watching TV, reading novels, and so on. When you want to play games, you can choose to sleep to replenish your energy, because playing games will only consume energy. - For children who were unable to control themselves, they could consider canceling their game accounts. This was a more "ruthless" but effective method. If the child was really difficult to control, they could go to a specialized medical institution for treatment. There were professional psychologist there who would distract the patient with music, books, movies, and so on to cultivate a wider range of interests and hobbies.
