I have done a lot more gaming in the past few years... but I don't think that has to do with my depression. I think my addictions that come directly from my depression are... Energy drinks/ caffeine (I need the extra caffeine because I tend to not sleep) Internet and It was smoking but I stopped doing that.

Video games and pornography
same. the porn is probly linked to my inability to have relationships with other people. So its really the only time i see someone i'd like, naked(keep in mind that sex in a relationship is only a small piece of it).

Anything that helps me escape really. Ive also picked up smoking recently, but that's a form of self harm(in a strange way, I hope I get cancer. that way i wont be directly attemptig suicide).

I used ot have a caffiene addiction to pepsi max. but it got to the point where i was going through 24 cans of it a day and was equating to nearly a pack of cigs a day. so now I buy bottles of pepsi max(the cheaper version) and mix it with milk. Or I just buy a gallon of orange juice and drink that(its actually really cheap as well).

EDIT: oh and just my computer in general. I can hide in it.

Smoking cigarettes and drinking lots of caffeine. I used to drink alcohol quite a bit but not anymore. I tend not to eat very much when I'm depressed which is odd. I've lost a lot of weight over the past 7 months.

My computer... Well, since being as bad as it's gotten the past few years. I didn't used to stay on this long, now, I'm on all day some times. Also, pain killers, night time cough syrup, and binge eating.

And caffeine, too.

Think the Internet is the only new addiction, also think that being in this long term state has made most of my previous addictions a bit worse...coffee, smoking and if it's an addiction, loneliness.:dry: The Internet though may have started a semi-new addiction, not eating, have always been somewhat on the skinny side but being on the 'net for some strange reason curbs any hunger pangs I may have, now I've gotten ultra skinny, doesn't make a lot of sense.:zombie:

I tend to eat more when depressed. I wish i ate less food, cause it start to add up.

Typically I drown myself in video games so I can anesthetize myself from being horrible. At college I couldn't play video games as much and I felt really lonely. To cope with my social anxiety I started drinking. Also, despite my average build I overeat eat to get that dopamine rush.

Movies, reality tv. Painkillers when I can get them. Sometimes I binge eat, other times not at all. Same with sleep. I can sleep 12 hours a day, or stay up for two.
