so i have a gaming addiction now

i’m prone to getting addictions im a teenager already had about 3 addictions i think it’s cause i have cptsd and autism.

so i have a gaming addiction and you’ll think omg thats not an addiction dummy, i’ll explain

i started playing this game and i can’t go one day without playing it, but it’s not even about the game, it’s about the items you get in the game. you can trade items, you can win items, like every game. it said complete this and you’ll be able to HAVE A CHANCE to win this item and i played for about 9 hours straight and i tried to stop but i just couldn’t stop because i really wanted this thing and then i saved up enough coins and i didn’t get the item because it’s gambling you only have like a little chance to win it so i kept playing i was glued to my device and then when my gambling lost i decided to spend real money on the game about 5 which doesn’t sound like it’s a lot but it is for my family because we have no money my mother doesn’t work and i ended up spending about 20 (real money) on this game i was thinking about spending more to get this rare item that would be a total of 49.99 on this game and i can’t do that because my family don’t have money so that’s a lot of money to my family i can’t afford to spend that much but i don’t know why i’m so fixated on gaming maybe because i have autism but i really cannot sleep until i get the items i want and i get it then i want a new one it’s a constant cycle and work and work and work to get these items but it’s impossible and i need help to stop this.

could be like a gambling addiction where my body feels a good when i finally get this item and then i want it again and again?

i forgot to say:

i also went online looking to buy these items off of a seller cuz it’s easier to buy them than playing the game but i didn’t because of my family’s financial situation

and i put my information onto a website that looked like it was infected with viruses like an hour ago, where you can talk to people about getting items on the game, with my email and my password and my account and then i realised that i messed up bc this website could be dangerous so i deleted my account on that website then i realised that i have a problem
