Addiction on video games
As a child, I would be handed an ipad by my elder sister, who is older by 4 years old, I would play with the ipad for 4-5 hours, almost non stop, until someone needs mee somewhere else. Years later, I still have relapses towards the addiction. During relapses I would ignore everyone else. It's not completely satisfying when I do it and I get missed out on a lot. It's a difficult thing to battle because it could be a shelter everytime I face something too stressful.

video game addiction can be difficult to get around because it is so easy to access the medium
it sounds like you're frustrated with your current approach to it and that you keep getting back to it. that's okay and understandable
what helps you to step away from gaming for some time?
@BrownFruitPaperBag
what other coping mechanisms can you think of that might help you when you're stressed??
Breathing slowly, looking at green plants.
Other little interests of collecting things or background wallpapers. It connects to me deeply and lessens the grip from video games.
