Granted there may be some who this would not apply to, please take into account that not all people are open with their problems, and if I could help just one person this guide would be totally worth my time. A friend of mine from school last year recently committed suicide and it turned out (I asked his parents) he was dealing with extreme depression and WoW addiction. Please remember, this post is only to help those that truly need help, and not as an argument on why you should quit RS/gaming.
What I am going to talk about today is how to take control of your life and how to completely quit Runescape. and how to feel better about yourself as a person. Now for a fact, to play Runescape, and to devote time to a clan is totally a lifestyle, and quite honestly to be an active and great clansman, you must be devoted.
This devotion does take away from other aspects in your life, that you may really want to improve. Some people can objectively see that they want to prioritize their life but they 1) have no time and cannot schedule in time to do homework, workout, go out with friends, etc. and 2) feel entirely demotivated because what happens is your need for dopamine is satiated by the game.
Both of these factors are actually derived from the fact of allotting so much time to gaming. Also to clarify 1) since you are gaming so much, you feel a time distortion and time feels as if it moves incredibly fast while gaming, but extremely slow during actual real life events. Not only that, but real life events seem dull and boring while the only thing that creates happiness is gaming and playing Runescape etc.
Gaming addiction, as well as many other addictions can lead into severe depression, and without self-actualization, (motivation and a self-awakening) it is fairly hard to come out of such a downward spiral.
These are common symptoms of game addiction, and if you see that you are affected by them, there should be a serious reconsideration on your game time.
Do you think you have friends but you actually never ever hang out with anyone but just clan every weekend?
Do you lose your sense of time, expecting to spend a few minutes on the computer and then spend hours?
Do you have no friends and tell yourself that but continue to play video games?
Do you presently struggle with your weight, but lack motivation to work out?
Have you ever struggled with grades because you do not study, and not because you cannot understand the material?
Do you get angry and agitated when people disturb you while gaming?
Do you secretly do drugs/alcohol alone in order hide pain?
Do you game in secret?
Do you feel groggy all of the time but think you are getting enough sleep? Is that sleep 3-5 hours?
Do you use gaming as a way to hide from your negative feelings?
If you have a lot of money at your disposal, do you spend a lot of money buying virtual items even though you know you will use it?

Again, if you experience these things, there REALLY should be a reconsideration of your time because TRUST ME, being depression and gaming free, REALLY does feel magnificent.
NOW, HOW TO REALLY REALLY REALLY QUIT RS AND NEVER PLAY AGAIN. (This is not entirely necessary to quit if you are highly motivated)
1.END ALL OF YOUR MEMBERSHIPS
2.GIVE AWAY YOUR ITEMS TO YOUR RUNESCAPE FRIENDS AND OR STAKE/ DICE A **** TON OF YOUR STUFF.
3.BLOCK RUNESCAPE FROM USE ON YOUR WEB BROWSERS.
4.LISTEN TO CALM AND MOTIVATING MUSIC, I RECOMMEND The Expendables – Positive Mind
5.ONCE YOU ARE IN A POSITIVE MINDED MOOD, MAKE SURE TO ACTUALLY GET PHYSICALLY ACTIVE. Even if you cannot run or lift weights, WALKING is amazing to open up your mind and feel calm.
6.Once you are feeling a little better(bear in mind this can take days to feel better) take the time to think, who in my life makes me happy? Think about that person.
7.Now call that person, or something, and arrange to hangout/chill.
8.Stay positive, stay motivated, and most importantly, be happy, because nothing in life is worth sadness and despair. Studies show a positive mind is essential for happiness. http://www.motivational-quotes-and-daily-i...e-thinking.html
9.Another tip, there is a guy named Nando Reynolds on youtube, and anyway, he opened my mind to the thoughts of delayed and instant gratification and the importance on being able to satiate happiness through delayed gratification
Keep in mind, THIS IS NOT AN INSTANT PROCCESS. You will not just snap out of game addiction, it takes EFFORT, AND HUNGER FOR CHANGE.
Once you completely quit gaming and Runescape, and end your depression if you have it, then what happens is you do not even have the urge to game. For me, I quit runescape during thanksgiving break. I gave away all my gp and totally was ****** as ****. I was so mad, I just quit the game. I was fortunate that I was in New York City at the time with my family, and I was able to compensate Runescape with physical activies in NYC such as walking around and siteseeing, and the rest is history.I was 180 lbs 5’6 at the time of my quitting. Since then and after 4 months of working out, doing cardio, maintaining a positive mind I am now 145 lbs and can run around 6 miles. Before, I couldn’t even run 1 mile, and now I feel great, and feel as if I look great. I now have a girlfriend who I have been with for 2 months now, and she is amazing. But, in the main, understand, I AM writing this because of the boy who committed suicide at my school and my own quest to conquer depression/addiction.
