Addiction and Procrasnation

[Shaaaaun]

16, finishing up to go onto my last year of highschool next year.

I work around 30 hours a week, I go to the gym 3-4 times a week, and any other time not at school, work or gym is spent on RS like every second.

It's all I think about and next year is coming up and its the final year of highschool and I'm looking to play a bit less as I'm looking for some good grades to get into the course I want at UNI. (College for Mericans' and Brits)

But my problem is playing RuneScape less it's one of the most difficult things as it's the only thing I think about all the time is the lust for XP. I'm running myself on as low as 5 hours of sleep and then doing a full school day and then work. I'm not looking to quit, I'm looking to be able to log out of runescape and then be able to do school work without wanting to put a rope around my neck. It's really bad. Especially when things like the internet does not work I get really grumpy and it's hurting my family.

The procrastation is getting pretty bad too I get to a point where I go 'I'll do that later' 'I'll do it tomorrow' and when tomorrow comes it will change to the next day etc.

Thanks, Shaun. Will update OP later.

Do your parents know you play the game?

If they do ask them to set a timer on your computer to moderate yourself, if you can learn moderation you'll be fine in school.

Yeah they know I play, but they think I get off at like 8:3.0 not 2:30am haha

But if I do that I get really angry and pissed off at everything. I started yelling at my dad the other day because he turned the internet off.

Explain the situation to your parents, inform them there will be yelling/fighting and instead of hardcore rs raging at them start working out in your room to blow off steam.

Bettering your future and getting a pump, win - win.
