How does gaming affects your mental state?

Makes me happy.

Doesn't matter. It still degrades with or without gaming.

Well, if I want to play the game, and I am enjoying it, it will give me hits of dopamine

If I'm not feeling Iike gaming then I don't game

It doesn't really affect my mental status. Sometimes I do really well and that's because I am actually thinking in multi-player, but sometimes I just have brain fog and I can't play.

I don't know if gaming affects my mental status. I think it's the other way around for me. I have to be in a specific state of mind in order to properly game.

I think that it's the thing that has kept from becoming exposed to stuff like depression and possibly suicidal thoughts, both of which I feel I could've easily been susceptible to all throughout my life, but thankfully have not experienced.

I would say that at the same time, however, it may have also served as a coping mechanism (particularly in the past few years) that has prevented me from being able to move forward in life. Although there are other things that likely fulfilled that purpose as well, so it's not exclusively down to gaming alone that's kept me back.

Overall, I would say that gaming has been a net positive impact on me, mentally, not a negative one. And in other aspects - socially, for example - it's had an even more beneficial effect on my life.

Games are heavily boring I only play them about an hour a week or something about or just not at all. Back then I could game for hours but now I rather do real life stuff which is more fun to do.

Same. Honestly, I'd rather sleep than game! Lol

It helps me forget the world is burning down around me

Grinding to 70 in old-school maplestory drove me insane years ago, and I've been crazy ever since.

Gaming shouldn't be affecting anyones mental state what so ever. You know, this mental illness was something of shame back in my day and something to hide from your family, friends and the public in general.

It's the "circuses" part of my needed "bread and circuses" to keep me happy and entertained.
