who really thinks that video games are addictive almost as much soo as drugs??
Answer:
This might answer to your question. This was on CBS evening news 6/23/07. It is a very interesting story.
I can't stop playing call of duty 2..
And I'm almost 50. And a girl. It's just a great game.
hell yeah
I'm totally hooked on City of Heroes. It happens.
Is it making your life better or worse to play? If its relieving stress and not having a negative impact on your life, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Video game playing- how does it affect people?
My husband plays a video game every night for several hours. Its about an Egyptian city. Anyway he seems to have lost his social skills is it possible from playing these games?
Answer:
I wish I could find the survey (maybe you could with a google search) but it has been proved that video games tend to decrease your libido, stagnate you social skills, and lowers your learning ability (you are not stimulating the proper part of you brain.)
It sounds like he is addicted and using the games as a way to avoid some problem or problems.

Video game addiction a mental illness??
that's what psychiatrists are saying in an article in the Oregonian.for some it is as powerful addiction as heroin. This might be true because when I was a kid I lived and breated Mario Brothers and Zelda.
opinions?
Answer:
No. I played both those games, and now am 24 and take care of all my other responsibilites. Before I get on my Xbox. Its when you let go of your important responsibilities to play the games when it becomes a problem. Or like the guy before me said, they are just lazy and want an excuse to goof off.
No! The people are just lazy and would rather goof off.
i'm sorry to say that it is. i have that illness
It is possible, if you're letting it take over your life. Think of it as alcohol--in moderation, it's good for you but if you go as far as drinking so much your relationships and responsibilities are affected, it's time for rehab!
Is this a problem: YES
But people who sit down in front of a computer and let themselves get sucked into the game, had a problem before they even started the game.
I don't like the term "Video game addiction" lets call it "Reality escape by extreme passion for computer game disorder" LOL

Vibration/Pulses in head and Ear pain?
What is it? I do get weird vibrations/pulses in head occasionally. This has been situation since last 6-8 months. They are momentary. It comes and goes withtin a minute or so. Same time My ears are also painful because of it. Most of the times it pains sides od head and in ears. In ears it does pain a lot like pressure coming in abundance. It stays for a while and then go. It almost happens daily 3-4 times and no particualr time is fixed. Sometimes it now pains in eyes also. Before i was in panic and all but lately i try to calm down myself and let it go. My doctor says nothing looks weird in your ears. I schedule appointment again in next 2 weeks but I don't understand why this happens? What could be possible reasons? I have tried sinus medication (Advil Cold and Sinus) but it does not resolve it either. It is very weird feeling.
Any idea about such conditions? Thanks in advance.

Very very bad mood, can't get it to go away( the last q. i posted was about 2 wks ago, about depression and ..
bipolar.). k, I can't seem to stay happy, Sunday my husband and I took our 2 kids to t them park(dollywood) and i was in a ok mood i played with them and all that stuff, and that evening I just seemed to get in a horrible mood on the way home. I still am...I feel the world is aginst me and i can turn to no one for help, i have bills due that can't be paid(and i know thats adding to it, i have no idea what to do about it. I feel it would be best if i were dead(most of the time) that way i wouldn't pass my feeling on to my kids(who are 2 %264 yrs old) i hate who i am, i just want to sit in a corner and cry to myself for days, i feel everything that goes wrong is my fault, and i can do nothing to make it better, i feel inadequate because i can't provide what my kids need, and i feel like a bad mother for this reason. I don't know who to ask for help, and I'm afraid if i do my family(mostly my mom) will think of me as a peice of crap, I hate asking for anything from anyone. aaahhhhhhh!!
Answer:
First think of this...later in life your kids would have to say their mom was passed or killed herself. You need to A get on the right meds B talk to a counselor maybe a family one so they know why you act the way you do sometimes so the kids know it isnt there fault and C need to just pamper yourself and do things for you that make you happy. Bills should be your first priority so that will take away your stress..instead of the theme park pay some bills. Dont feel bad for asking for help if you dont ask and dont open up then it will just drive people away from you then you really wont have anyone to help you. Just pull yourself out of the slum for your family stop feeling so bad...if you truly are this sad get on meds talk to a counselor otherwise done mope if you dont want to ask for help because otherwise nothing will be solved. You have children and need to think of their happiness. You need to set a good example for them. I know what it is to be judged by everyone I know what it is to be left out of the family. I am Deaf in hearing family who wont adjust to my needs..I grew up in Deaf community while hearing community looks down on us thinking we are dumb or disabled. I know how bad depression can be...but you need to help yourself for your childrens sake...
you have depression and what you are feeling is perfectly normal for someone who is depressed. I have it too. Please go and see your doctor and tell them how you are feeling. If they don't help you then see another doctor until you feel comfortable talking to them. They will give you some antidepressants and help you to cope again. Once you feel a bit better you will be able to stand up for yourself and let your mother in law know who is these childrens mother. Maybe you might even be able to talk to her once you feel a bit better. Good luck
You taking the first step to recovery. admitting you have a problem.. I was in your shoes but denied it for 6 months.I have now recovered%26gt; raised a family now retired and a happy Grand pa %26gt; others have done it so can you..Pls try to read The power of positive Thinking%26gt; change your thinking change your life. It works you have an illness that can be treated,, The rewards are worth it..Dont worry about others If they love you they will be at your side. My name is Ed feel free to e mail me any timeIts 7 am pacific time ill be here off and on till noon
I was told many years ago that I was the loneliest man in the world. I was very disappointed and felt I deserved better. I soon began to see how this was all true when I thought I had friends. False friends were proven within the year and I began to start anew. I had to lose some bad expectations too but this kept me from the insult unto death and I survived . I know some who didn't

Very sensitive to certain issues.?
After my first panic attack, I've since been very paranoid and fearful about dying or falling into a really deep depression. And I have had many more panic attacks since the first one. When i reflect on what actually cause them, then are often related. For eg, today my teacher was talking about the immune system and how people with long-term depression would lead to their immune system's eventual breakdown. I was so scared when i heard that ( because I have been in quite a long depression previously and I still am in one), then, i started to feel like i can't breathe properly and my heartbeat was racing! As seen, I'm very sensitive to these questions related to my illness. Is there a name for this disorder of mine? and how can i prevent these issues from affecting me negatively?
Answer:
Try listening to classical music daily in the evening. You could also play ragtime music sometimes. They are highly structured and relaxing, and help to settle the mind and body.
Be sure to get enough sleep each night, especially before spending the day away from home.
Start a journal. Write about your experiences, what you were doing, what triggered them, what time of day, and analyze them putting your results after each. Re-read all of them at the beginning of each month, and refer back for details whenever you want to.
Do research on the things that upset you. Having a complete understanding of a scary thing takes away its power in your mind.
Usually, this kind of thing passes with time and learning. But you might also find a therapist can guide you through it more quickly.
You already got the names, Depresson and generalized Anxiety Disorder. They often go hand in hand. Aside from meds, do yourself a favor and get some therapy. In the meantime, take your vitamines and live a healthy lifestyle.

Very nervous, any idea how to relax? schoool...?
Im starting college tomorrow at 6am! I dont know where the classes are at either.. so Ill have to be going there earlier.. Im scared, and nervous and afraid and worried and not sure of what. someone please make me feel better, or tell me how I can make myself feel better.
Answer:
Okay, 1st take a deep breath...[[inhale through nose for 3 seconds, hold in for 3 secs., then exhale for 3 seconds through mouth]] Just do this for a while...then, listen to some music...something calming...
When you're relaxed, start thinking about the issue of school. Ask yourself what you're really afraid of, then ask yourself what would happen after that, then after that, then after that...and so on. If you have other fears, do the same thing with them. Basicly, it will all end up the same way...life will go back to normal.
If you have to, write down what you need to do in the morning before you get to your school and when you get to your school. That helps me get to sleep when I'm nervous about the next day.
just think about your priorities ! what u are reaching for and just get a good night sleep and calm down..in the end it will be worth it all
i cant help u relax, but remember u will not be the only person there for the first time!
HeHe, I wish I had ByeDr.com to make myself better when I felt nervous a million times...Let me tell you, it's normal. As you said go early, be confident-or try to look confident. Going to college is part of your life so enjoy it. You will meet different kind of people, learn different things and hopefully it will shape your life in a way that you will be proud of yourself once it's over. Getting nervous is normal and it never goes away. You have to learn in your own way how to deal with it. Nervousness helps to make best out of yourself. Breath in through your nostrils and out through your mouth :D and again...have fun!! After college is even more tense than going TO college :P
