Hi I'm Achesia and I'm a nationstatesaholic

Postby Achesia » Thu Aug 21, 2014 8:33 pm

So i've been around on nationstates since about 2006 under various nations and rp personas. i've done MT, FanT, And FT in the II portion of this website. But I CANT keep my attention with any one thing. Its a vicious cycle with me, I become enveloped in an RP idea, a story, nation, character, etc and for months will work on factbooks, backstories, art, and so on an so fourth. I even created a whole RP group (Ceaden, and Lost Age) but no matter what I do, no matter what it is I cant keep with it, my passion for the thing I'm in to at the given time fizzles out and I become bored, and often times I become stressed because I feel like I fell down the same hole again after I put a huge amount of effort into it. BUT I love NS so much that I always come back again and again, and again. The cycle continues, and I don't know how to just stick with it.

I love NS, I love it more than video games or miniatures because it makes me think. I feel like I became better and maybe even learned something (technology, history, geography, etc) so what do I do? Is there anyone else who shares this affliction? I'd love to know if I'm not the only one.

I had a friend who was able to quit NSG permanently, he just started doing meth and crack instead.

Calmed him down a lot.

You have never seen the terrible effects of nationstatesaholism. I used to be an nationstatesaholic as well, that I even neglected my family, all I could think about was Nation States. It got to the point where I wouldn't even leave my computer...thankfully all that is behind me, and I am a social user of Nation States, with the help of all the people at my local Nations States Anonymous.

I spend too much time here. I fear that I have by now become an addict. I may need some help. This game... its taking over everything. I walk around all day thinking about forum posts, WA categories for all of my states, the recent survey results, the WA debates, Max's book...

Its taking over EVERYTHING.

I don't like this.

I really should be spending more time working towards my dream of becoming a real Great Artist. =(

It's discussing the problem with addictions/obsessions with immaterial things such as NationStates and other MMORPGs in a fun and jovial manner. Online addiction is a serious problem that if left unchecked can interfere with your life,your family and scary enough, even your money.

This website makes me feel significantly worse after going on, despite that I keep coming back to it. So yeah.
