So did the cut out have any positive effects on your mental or physical health? Do you suffer from symptoms like CFS or BFS or other something that might potentially be triggered by stress?
Yes - cutting out games resolves my apathy and lack of energy. I probably do have stress and tiredness caused by high cortisol from work, but concentrating on physical exercise as a remedy seems to be the most effective way of coping. Gaming compounds it, as does consumption of social media, particularly long-form video like YouTube.
