I seem to have a problem with moderating myself when it comes to playtime on Video Games, How do you keep yourself from just endlessly playing games?

I don’t like being interrupted while gaming so as a student I study till a certain hour than I do whatever (maybe gaming) till 11PM

Maybe lay off video games for a while till you manage to accumulate a level of willpower that lets you cobtroll yourself easier while gaming. At your situation professional help from someone who knows about this shit might be better help.

@WeLoveCastingSpellz I tried to go full ‘Cold Turkey’ before but it just made me even worse and fell in even harder than I normally am to the point I was staying up for days on end just playing games. I know I need to seek professional help but it costs.
