I've been playing videogames almost daily since I was young. I'm going to be 29 soon, but I've noticed that balancing games and responsibilities is difficult. Sometimes I waste weekends on just gaming or forget payments because I've been looking forward to a new release. I've also been feeling so reluctant to get out of bed because of the time I spend on my phone, which is mostly taken up by doomscrolling on YouTube looking for long videos to watch. I've been fapping on a daily basis as well, but I mainly get horny when I see YouTube thumbnails, ads, or scroll through 4chan. I've tried cutting down time from my phone a few times, but I always end up back on my old habits. At this point, I think dropping whatever mobile games I play and putting my phone in another room. It'd be painful because I don't want to miss out on any events, but it would be better than repeating my mistakes. I'm not entirely sure what I'd replace the empty time with though. I suspect that last part is what's making me come back to this loop. This might sound like coping, but if I could balance things maybe I wouldn't have to let go? I'm on the fence about it.
