Does anyone have problems with playing video games for hours on end without stopping every day?

I have always played video games since I was young. I am now 31.

Currently I probably play 3 hours average per day plus 4-5 at weekends.  I can become incredibly invested.

Time just seems to pass by very quickly and I only really stop because my partner tells me to. 

Anyone experience this?  Is it good? Or is it bad?

Cheers

  • Any programme, be it a game  social media or forums... can be addictive. I never thought of myself as having an issue  but looked at my screen time stats, on my phone alone, the other day. I was rather shocked!! Wednesday for instance, I was almost entirely on my phone!!
