I keep failing online classes. Does it have to do with my videogames addiction?

So you have some worries about life? Would you like to share them?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
I keep failing online classes even when I seem to have them under control. I think it might have something to do with me playing too much videogames.

Do you feel that perhaps you are playing video games as a distraction from how bad the world is at the moment?
assistant
Question
No, I don't think that's it. I have been playing games since I was 6.

Ah, so it's a long term hobby? I do love gaming myself I have to admit. Could you perhaps set yourself some strict boundaries, like you can only do a certain number of hours of gaming a day?

It sounds like you might have a genuine addiction to gaming. Do you think you might benefit from some counselling? There are organisations that can help.

Do you really think it's that severe?

Well, if it is affecting your grades and the rest of your real life then it might be. And it's best to catch these things before they get worse.

The thing is, I keep telling myself I have enough time to get my school work done. But sooner than later I realize the assignments are already past their due date.

Have you been getting into trouble with your teachers about this or has no-one noticed so far?
assistant
Question
Yeah, I have. They say that I am either super invested on my school work or that I lack any signs of effort at times.
user

Does your school have a counsellor?
assistant
Question
Yeah, they assigned me one.
user

Do you feel that they have not been of any help? There are always external counsellors that you could speak to. How would you feel if, for instance, you were never allowed to game again? Would that significantly affect your quality of life?
assistant

I really haven't reached out to them, so that's probably on me.

The trouble is that sometimes the person with a problem can be the last to actually realise it I hope that I've been able to give you something to think about :) It's been nice to talk!
