When I was at school I would often play games till the early hours

But in the last 3 years my attendance was rubbish

I remember one time my attendance was 15%

I remember when the PS1 dropped. It was at the times we still had one TV in the house. We enjoyed it, but still opted to “play out” and go outside. When I was 14 and we got a PS2, Id play it a bit more.

I dunno. I love video games. But its never been a consuming-factor for me.

I did game quite a lot growing up. In retrospect it is difficult to say what role it played overall, let alone becoming ill with this disease. But it is all in the past now, so no worries.
