Make video games instead of playing them.

What thoughts come up when you’re not gaming? It might be that gaming is an escape for you, and you’re trying to hold onto it to get away from whatever makes you anxious, stressed, or depressed. If it is, then I get what you’re feeling - I have a lot of the same problems myself.

Either way, having a detailed plan for tackling those issues is a better way to recovery than trying to blame gaming itself and quit cold turkey.

Play a visual novel instead, they're not games.

NO, FAR BETTER SOLUTION:

TABLETOP ROLEPLAYING

Literally, last week I played Dungeons and Dragons for several hours

Try intentionally trying to let your mind wander for a minute and writing down whatever comes up. That might help.

uninstall all games

delete your accounts

remove your gpu if any so that every game lags and is impossible to enjoy

if you have a console, sell it or give away

disable internet connection, disconnect yourself with computers

stop consuming things that stimulate you (e.g. gameplays on YT and Twitch, memes, Reddit etc.)

but most important

say you quit gaming. what will you do instead?
