I was addicted to GTA5 online for approximately 2-3yrs AMA

Upon the release of GTA5 online I engulfed myself completely into the game. It was pretty bad I didn’t leave my room for days at a time let alone sleep, I urinated in bottles occasionally and didn’t care to shower until my skin began to feel itchy, old molded food was stored under my bed, etc/-Im not sure what aspect of the game drove me to be soo obsessed, I held the top spot on some leaderboards for a small time but I think the real meat&potatoes was the escape from reality I felt when immersing myself into a fictional universe where i had everything I didn’t have IRL. (Being a teen in highschool and struggling academically didn’t help the situation either.)
