Actually I am a computer enthusiast and I love to spend time in front of my laptop screen. Similarly I am interested in playing some computer games also. And few months ago I had computer games addiction. I used to spend maximum time of my day in front of computer games like Bob Z, FIFA and many more. It was affecting my health. I was getting some serious health issues. I was not able to give enough time to my family. It was affecting my mental issues, mental health, my social relationships. And due to lack of physical exercise I was also getting some cramps. I was not able to lift heavy loads and similarly I was not able to work. For longer periods, for longer distance and also I was not able to run like I used to do when I was younger. I decided to stop playing games because yes it was hampering my studies, it was hampering my health, my mental issues and many more. But the main reason I stopped playing games was my laptop indeed because it has a limited setup and it was causing some serious damage like overheating, the CPU and the GPU was not performing well. It was damaging the components. I figured it when I took it to the repair shop. And I think this is a problem for every teenager like me who is staying at home. And yes it was a good decision for me to stop using it, stop playing games for longer period of time. Of course it is good if you want to get a refraist or things like that but it’s not effective if you are addicted to these kind of things.

Actually, I am a computer enthusiast, and I love to spend time in front of my laptop screen. Similarly, I am interested in playing computer games as well. A few months ago, I had a computer games addiction. I used to spend most of my day in front of computer games like Bob Z, FIFA, and many more. It was affecting my health. I was experiencing some serious health issues. I was not able to give enough time to my family, and it was affecting my mental health and my social relationships. Due to a lack of physical exercise, I was also getting some cramps. I was not able to lift heavy loads, and I was not able to work for longer periods or cover longer distances. I was also not able to run like I used to when I was younger. I decided to stop playing games because it was hampering my studies, my health, my mental well-being, and many other aspects of my life. The main reason I stopped playing games was my laptop, as it has a limited setup and was causing serious damage, like overheating. The CPU and GPU were not performing well, damaging the components. I realized this when I took it to the repair shop. I think this is a problem for every teenager like me who is staying at home. It was a good decision for me to stop using it and to stop playing games for long periods. Of course, it is good if you want to take a break, but it's not effective if you are addicted to these kinds of things.
