Funny as this may sound, I have/had an addiction to a micro-transaction video game. You buy stuff that makes your game better and there's a gambling side to it as well, can't make money back on the game though. I finally had enough of playing it, after 4 years, and stopped spending and playing about a week ago the game has chewed up more time than I care to admit. I've always been a heavy gamer but this is the first time I've spent this much on such.
About 4 days ago I started feeling weird, have bipolar I, thought it had to do with the time change and spring coming but I'm starting to consider that it's mostly the game. It was a big part of my daily routine and was stimulating, first time I've had a gambling "habit". Have feelings of guilt and some depression, tired, kinda strung out feeling.
I know this probably sounds stupid and funny but I've read some articles and whatnot about gaming addiction, real thing. But probably still sounds absurd lol
Just looking for support, maybe some stories of similar daily routines any of you have stopped doing, then felt symptomatic. Thanks.
