Let's say, you have a game, you love it, you play it a lot - you're "addicted" to the game. At what point does it become more than just "addicted" to the point in which it's an obsession like that which is commonly associated with OCD? How would I evalute that? I've always had games for which I've developed somewhat of an "addiction", but can I always ascertain whether it's my OCD butting its head on? Nope. Can you?

I am a former gamer. I knew I was in trouble when it wa 2AM on a work night.
I never lost my job over it or blew a relationship up. When anything starts destroying your life it is over the line.

I'm a gamer, but not obsessed this way by games itself, but when I play a bad character I feel like 'I am' a bad person, not only my chara.. this very obsessive feelings sometimes triggers anxiety and I can't stop thinking if I am bad evil person too... hate this, it kills fun of gaming, and I can't go through the story :c
