I'm having problems about how i spend my free time...
I love to draw and paint, and I have other things to do when i'm home (such as get some info for my radio program, send photos, etc), but when i have time for myself, i just turn on the pc and play video games. And I play for hours...

The problem starts when the time pass and I realize that I've wasted a whole afternoon in front of the computer doing nothing but playing games. Since I don't have too much time for myself, this becomes an issue.

I discovered that I use the video games to make my mind stop.... I'm so anxious that I want to do everything at once (drawing, checking info, etc, etc). Even, for example, when I finally decide to sit and draw, it's a tedious and tiring process 'cause I have a thousand ideas in my mind at the same time.... and, as you can guess, I want to paint all of them at the same time.

It's hard (almost impossible) for me to choose what to do in my free time without feeling that I could use that time for something else. Is then, when I turn on the pc and start playing...to calm my mind... to do not think.

I don't know how to control this behavior, I tried, but it's too hard for me.....
