Thank you. Yeah, I'm getting there, thanks.

Good on you for uninstalling the game and letting your friends know. Yes, it's a big step, so well done! And if some time soon you feel like you might reinstall the game, then focus your mind and your day on something else instead. Log on here and talk about it perhaps. There's an addictions forum too.

Well, I've ironed out the addictions side, but have struggled with anxiety/depression for quite some time. I guess my main coping technique now is, letting go, letting go, letting go, of mental formations which mess with my head. I take meds too, and they do help, but that's been a merry-go-round of trial and error and side effects. But it's my life at stake. And just sticking to my daily routine of making sure things are in order, paying bills, budgeting, making sure I have groceries etc. And exercise and diet are important to me as well. I used to work, but don't work at present though it's a goal of mine to be self sufficient again. So, daily goals and long term goals are things I use to stay focused too - to cope. All sorts of things really. Mindfulness is a good tool as well.

How are you feeling cryingontheinside? You'll get through this, don't you worry.
