Gambling addiction in general: a question

Topic created on 07th Apr. 2024 | Page: 1 of 2 | Answers: 20 | Views: 2,071

Hey peps, I just can't do it anymore. I've been playing Fortnite constantly (24/7) since I finished school. If my mom didn't bring me food, I'd probably starve to death xD. I can't take any more people, I think I'm addicted. Can or does anyone know of any help?

Hello and welcome

This is primarily about Gambling addiction, but I think certain behavioral patterns are similar to addiction to computer games. I also had the feeling that I was addicted to World of Warcraft. I woke up in the morning and thought directly about how I could farm the new S equipment.

What exactly makes you "addicted"? The grind for Elo? Is it perhaps an escape from the real world? You've finished school, now life really begins. Enjoy it

Cook your own food and don't blame your mom for your laziness. When you get hungry, you'll get moving ...

edit:
Your mom is co-dependent and you can't blame her. Any mother would be after your ass. The sooner you realize that you have to make your own living, the better 👍🏻 and then everyday life will work again

But if you're really addicted check if it's not possibly a shift from something else that's keeping you busy

In therapy all your electronics+phone are locked away so you can focus on therapy for a long time


You can try it yourself and give your gaming stuff to someone who will lock it away for you
That's out of the way for now and you can move on to something else

Why did you graduate from high school? No plans for what you want to be? Maybe you should plan your day a bit more sensibly yourself... Get up... Have breakfast, clean up...then you can satisfy your cravings first...after lunch maybe get some fresh air or give your mother a hand...meet friends... write job applications...kick yourself in the ass a bit & think about whether this is the meaning of your life...

Hello georgii,

although this may not be the right forum, the issue you have raised is of course a medical problem that has been known for some years.

Perhaps this information will help you:

You can see it that way, why do you register in a gambling forum for that reason. a 37-year-old guy I know from my youth lives 100 meters away from me, lives at home (house) and has his mommy take care of his bottom. His father is already retired and had a master craftsman's job in a steelworks, so there's enough money to go around. That means 2 p.m. for lunch. Hasn't seen a supermarket for years and lives in his partly cluttered room and plays video games all the time. Never paid rent or electricity himself. You could almost be jealous or feel sorry for him. In this case, however, it could also be that he took a break after working all day (graduating from high school), then suddenly only gambled and then got addicted

Then the guy has a brother who is addicted to drugs and lives somewhere in Germany without having any contact and another brother lives a kilometer away in an apartment, also addicted to drugs and hanging out in front of the game console. What I'm getting at is that there are totally effeminate parents who let everything slide, they've just been far too friendly and that's what you get

If you type Gambling addiction into Google, GambleJoe is at the top. That's why I wouldn't devalue it as trolling just yet. I wish the user would get in touch again, otherwise Hidaruma is probably right.

A gambling forum would probably be the last place I would look for help here. The first google result is a telephone number for an anonymous survey. You can find out everything else there.

Here you are just bombarded with stimuli.

If you're addicted to gambling but not if you're addicted to video games, maybe he's hoping for general help with Gambling addiction - it's basically the same, only we lose money and life time and he only loses life time but 100% less money

Hello,

nice that you were brave enough to write here in the forum. The answers to your question are very different. Let's see what you have to say about my answer.

I think it's worrying if you don't even get up to eat. My name is Susanne and I work at a counseling center for gambling addiction. I do believe that you need help. The only question is whether you can really accept it.... But you can decide that for yourself.

You can certainly contact an addiction counseling center in your area. They will certainly be able to help you and give you useful tips on how to limit your gambling behavior or perhaps even stop. The earlier you take such a step, the easier it is to stop gambling. This means that the longer you play intensively, the more difficult it becomes. Nevertheless, it is always possible to stop. Just look on the Internet to find out which counseling center is near you and then decide.

Reducing or quitting on your own is often difficult, so outside help is certainly useful. If you want to know anything else or have any questions, you can also just write to me directly.

Best regards


Susanne
