Hi people, i am having serious issues gaining control of my life. I am in my late 20ties and i am still not able to control my self-defeating behaviors. I went through a very depressing phase in my mid twenties and developed a internet and computer gaming addiction. Whenever it gets hard at work i simply cannot motivate myself to get things done. This lack of “drive” and control in my life have made me miss a lot of good chances to advance in my career and in my personal life. If things get nasty i basically flee into the internet or the gaming worlds without thinking of the consequences (unfinished work, lack of sleep, out of touch with friends and family). I really like to get out of this and get my life back on track, but i don’t know how. I red self-help books and they did help, but the effect was only temporary. I have also searched for self-help groups in my vicinity but there are none. People always tell me you have to change the way you live your life, but this ‘insight’ did not help since no one was able to tell me how i can pull this off. I wonder if anyone of you went through something similar and can share his/her experience with me.
Best regards,
Jason.
