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?

If your gaming addiction is impacting your self care to that level you need to seek therapy. It will help.

@Kit I understand therapy will help me in the long run it’s just unaffordable as of the moment, as soon as I can afford it I will be getting regular therapy sessions as I really do need them.

Check for low income mental health clinics. They tend to offer counseling and sometimes therapy by volunteers.

@Kit I know about one a charity in the local area that does have ‘counselling’ but I have had a LOT of feedback about how they are and they are really not equipped for things such as Addiction, Autism or being Trans so it seems like they are not an option, I will see if I can make an appointment for my doctor to go through a many things I need help with.
