Serious Question: How Do You Game? Is Your Gaming Time Truly Healthy?

There is too much personal info man, if you want to vent then private areas might be better for this, and will not be searchable and openly visible to all ( outside TE )

About tablets, you gotta go to a good doctor before taking anything like this or coming to any conclusion. Its good that you did not need them.
Just a cursory search seems to suggest that its not clear what causes Schizophrenia and genetic testing does not seem to be a 100% yes or no answer.
Hopefully you are doing this via an appropriate dr. Good luck.

It’s so sad, brother. Why do evil women always seem to find good people like you? Life is so unfair. I can’t believe you remarried that wh*re

Bro, it doesn’t matter how old you are. You can always start anew. In my 22 years of life, I’ve learned one thing: never compromise your happiness, even if it’s for your parents, wife, girlfriend, or son. You have no obligation to love people who don’t love you.

I can’t believe your parents let this happen to you. I even doubt that son is yours. she’s probably using him as an excuse to keep you trapped in this madness. your situation breaks my heart. You seem like such an intelligent person. How could you let something like this happen to you?

Brother, no god is coming to hand you happiness or a job. You have to go out and make it happen yourself. I can’t believe that after being so wise about life, you’re still caged by a woman… a woman. You have to choose your own happiness if you truly want to be happy.

I can’t believe you, as a man, let this happen to you. Even to the point of considering giving up on life. cmon, you can’t be this hopeless. You sound well-off, yet you need your wife’s permission to spend your own money on yourself?

Are you saving your inheritance for her, so that when you’re gone, she can enjoy her life with other men?

And Sorry if i said too much…

Well, that escalated quickly.

My hardcore gaming years were from 2001 to 2014 and then job and all killed it all!
I was very certain and serious on gaming at least 3-4hrs a day and looong gaming hrs on weekends!

And now, though luckily my wife encourages me in my hobbies, gaming, modding or be it whatever techno shit she loves it all so thats a huge plusss+++! I’m awaiting jealousy and flaming comments on this but it is what it is!

She still convinces/pushes me to game as it has been more than 1.8yrs exactly I have fired any game on my rig but job and household responsibilities leaves lil to zero time as I dont want to game just for the sake and for the so-so mental peace that yeah I gamed today completed an X level etc. NO! I would love to game for a good 2-4hrs like old golden days (well back then I used to game for 6-8hrs or even 10-11 esp. with my brother, its always fun each other playing and watching) Those days will never come again!
Its all now sad and solo if you ask me and this smartphone shit era has killed it all as when you game expecting your friends watching you but instead they will be hooked to their phones creating reels or messaging with their gf or pals making you feel alone in the room whereas in golden era they all used to get immersed themselves in the game, suggesting level cracking or be it that sharp turn or spotting the enemy behind you!

Overall I enjoyed a healthy gaming life to conclude..have lots of memories to last a lifetime!

Man
I am imprisoned in my own body. I cannot run away, die or bring about a change in people around me. When ever I look at my daughter I wanted to live for her. Maybe god saved me in 2018 just for this purpose. Did you notice I was active in TE, Digit and reddit forums since October,24 ending onwards.
My only solace is my PC with little bit of gaming and these above sites and watching movies in OTT.
Our joint family which consisted of brothers and sister of my father left him in 2016 who stayed together ever since they were born. Since then my father used to blame me and my wife for his joint family disintegration. My parents used to stay with me and my wife and kid in Hyderabad until 2019 while his brothers and sister along with their spouses stayed together in a house and he and his wife used to visit them every 3 months once.
In 2018 after my sucide attempt NRItech bro from TE gave me emotional and moral support. He said this is common Sunil. Let it go and live for your parents and daughter. I have 3 other classmates who also stood by me in those days. They came from Nellore to Hyderabad and used to take me to cinemas and shopping. I used to take my kid also then.
My 2018 story was already in the local town news. My relatives and friends from India to US know what happened. My father & I could not answer the questions then when we go out.
Now everybody were saying that at least she learned her lesson and my family of sisters, aunt’s and uncles are happy and she is also giving lacs of rupees as debts to them for interest through her father.
My father in law was very kind towards me from the begining, he used to treat me differently from his 1st son in law. But my wife used to always give preference to her sister and bava and their children. My father in law sends 10k every month to my wife telling her to give 5k to me because I am jobless. Everytime he informs me. Never has my wife gave me that 5k. She used to transfer her entire salary to her bava every month as chit from 2011 until 2019. Now she is showing her statement but since 2011 she won’t tell me the pin number for her accounts. But she opens my account and sees it. Even though I change my pin she asks my mother or my kid and opens to see.

Since 2011 ever since she got job in Infosys she was trying to get divorce by asking her father and uncles. But they did not agree because even though I am jobless my father supports the family until 2020 and they used to say that Sunil is innocent and good as Lord Rama. Never ever try to leave him. My kid was 2 years old then.
She conducted elders panchayats in 2016 and 2017 and asked for entire property given to me. But nor my father neither her elders did not agree and declared that they belive in my father’s and uncles words. In the same panchayats she asked for 30k every month to given to me. This also got annuled by the elders.
Now she is getting 40k from my side, 60k from her salary. Even now she says that since my pensioner father is getting 1 lac as pension so ask him to give me 50k at least. But I never asked him because I feel ashamed to ask for more.
Today morning my father gave her 2.18 lacs to buy gold for my daughter. Since my father was telling for 4 months that he will give 2 lacs to buy gold, so I went to main hall where they were discussing and asked for 18k remaining but my wife said that I should feel ashamed to ask from my kids purpose.
Then I asked my mother to give me 20k but my father left for outside and my wife began to hit me and I shouted.
At 1st I asked with low voice only pleading with my father. Everytime it goes into big arguments and I shout.
But if her father gives her money she never tells me. Since she got the infosys job she only does transfers to her bava and then her father takes money if in need from her bava.
During my kids 1st birthday in 2011 my mother used my gold bracelet dissolved it and made into a chain & dollar for my kid. While my father gave 2 lacs for my kids gold vaddanam. From then on if I ask my mother why she did it without telling me my wife used to tell me that she will buy me a gold bracelet. Until now no bracelet nothing. Then my wife gave entire gold of hers and my kids to her sister saying that the bank there is giving locker for less price. In 2020 after I remarried, her sister gave that jewellery to my wife saying that everybody are asking her why she took our jewellery. It’s because news travelled to every nook and corner of our relatives places and they began to enquire about any change of wealth or gold my wife’s sister or father got ever since she married into our household.
Then my mother gave me 2 silver plates and glasses so I gave them to my wife & kid to eat.
When ever her father comes to visit me he says to buy me silver plate and bracelet because Sunil gave those silverware to you amma.She says okay to her father.
Then in 2020 my father gave 10 lacs for my kids saree function and new furniture for our home in hyderabad. Since 2020 we 3 are living. My parents stopped living with us.
Nowadays if I ask her for any intimacy she is refusing and saying since she reached 39 years and I 45 years so we should not think about intimacy and she lost interest in it.
But when we visit our home town, her sister and her son, my wife, her father, my kid go to family jewellers and buy gold for her sister and my kid but never ever she calls me to come along with them. At least never calls me to ask how are the designs of our kid.Her father gives both his daughters 2 lacs each every 6 months. We visit our home town twice every year.
Today morning I called my aunt and sister in Hyderabad to ask for advice and they said to ask my father and mother pleadingly when my wife isn’t around and keep the money with my sister until it reaches the required amount and buy what I need.
My elder sister also told me that if I need the GPU my younger sister will bring only if it available near their house in Toronto or else she will send next time. My younger sister is coming next month from Canada. She always tell my dad that her worry is about me and told my dad to send my kid to her after she completes her degree. She does not have any kids. She just recovered from uterus cancer. Her father in law is in Stage 4 liver cancer and so she coming even after her doctors saying not to visit in summer to India.
Like in the other thread I was saying about rising cancer cases. In our joint family only there are 5 cancer cases and 3 died. Nobody smokes or drinks.

I know for sure that my kid belongs to me because from my marriage to the day she was born my wife was with me always as if we were love birds.
In 1 year after marriage my kid was born. It all started from my wife’s job in Infosys.
Now she is telling everybody that she does not want my property as she has her own.
Every woman my parents saw after the divorce said that they don’t want my kid but I said I won’t marry if my kid is not accepted. So when my kid was taken out frequently in 2020 and later my wife informed me that my kid wants to stay with her and I asked my father to stop her but he said it’s indian law that if kid chooses mother anytime later nobody can stop her. So I asked my kid to stay with me. Then she put the above condition to her mother.
So I agreed again because her fathers brothers warned her if she ever does any thing that will harm me or my kid then they will alienate her family from the village and from all her relatives forever. Her uncles told me if anything goes wrong tell them immediately.
But her urge for money and control over others never ceased even now.

We are not in control of what other think and do but we are in control of what we can do .may be you need to start giving one of your hobbies some time in a way to earn. May be you can write ebooks and sell on Amazon and take help of AI tools or may start a tech review youtube channel which gives weekly tech updates or may be support the customer to file a case on consumerhelpline.gov.in something which you enjoy doing it not about money but you will earn in the process. The harsh reality of the world others measure you by how much you earn and then they see if you good person. It really hard for what you had to go through but you need to strong and a day will come which mays for your all hard works and dreams
