Difficult to stop gaming sessions at intended time

-" Like when I tell myself I want to game 2hours and then after that go and do my homework or project. But after 2 hours I would still be in the game and after the game has ended I would tell myself one last game. But after the last game, my friends would ask me if I want to play, and I had no choice but to accept their invitation. And so I would get none of my work done at the end of the day. Sometimes I just get too immersed into the game and completely lost track of the time."

"there was once last year I remember, I was really quite determined to cut down the number of hours I play every day to like maximum of 2hours because of all the exams and projects going on. For the first week it was going pretty good maybe cause I had  a lot of work to do then it kept me occupied. But after that week, when I finished my tests and projects, I went back to my old ways and just started to game like mad. Because I did not manage to game as much for a week, for that subsequent week I gamed double of what I used to game leh."

Especially my mother whenever she sees me gaming she will nag and nag at me but I don’t really care so.

There was once when they were really mad when I was in secondary school because my grades were really bad, so they took my Custom made CPU and the desktop and they threw it out to the nearby garbage area, that happened when I was in school. When I came back home I had a huge quarrel with them and even threatened to leave home. Sometimes I feel really guilty that my habits are affecting my relationships with my parents to such a great extent."
