Hi fapstronauts. Now i'm struggling with quitting video games along with nofap journey. I found strange things. When i play video games, some past bad memories popped up with no reasons. Especially, when i play fps games, past bad memories popped up. Is there any relationship between video game and brain health? Those memories are no more important to me, and nothing. But why the popped up in my head? I searched some papers, but they said video game can relieve traumatic memories. But my case is totally different. I am not suffering from any mental illness, but I wonder why it only happens when I play games.
Yess in psychiatry now they call it gaming addiction disorder. It’s an addiction. I would throw it away. Best thing you could ever do. It’s known to lead to pmo use
Depends largely on the game itself. Fortnite, 2K, FIFA and Call of Duty? Definitely, no real reward and soul-draining. Puzzle games like Tetris and cutesy games like Kirby's Dreamland? Probably better for your mental health. Imo keep your game time limited to 2 1/2 hours a day if you're avid like me.
you can find more information on Google or in psychiatry journals online or in psychiatry book called DSM-5. Jama psychiatry is useful for info too. It’s called gaming addiction disorder. I hope you find something useful from it. It can have the same effect as pmo
