    Is there any psycological term for what I'm going through?
    I've been having some problems with it lately. The thing I most likely turn to is the game League of Legends, which doesn't really help. Not because I can't have fun in it when I actually want to, but because the people in the game are generally more negative than me when I open the game.


    The only answer I'm looking for is a solution or a possible way of helping myself. I also drown my sorrows in Netflix sometimes and I don't even think I want to. I really don't know. And the thing I wonder the most is if I should ask my parents for help to see someone about. Like a psychiatrist or something.


    Thanks,
    Mathias.

    There are names, and often several names for any and every slight issues. Doctors love to give things names and write papers on them.

    The issue is not the name, to be honest does a name really matter. The issue is why do you have sorrow ? What is wrong?

    All we hear is that you are addicted (as you call it) to a game and to Netflix. You say nothing about your family, friends, school, where you live, what your early years were like - not even your age!
    So sure, see a therapist (you don't need a psychiatrist, not unless the therapist says so).
    But if you want to get out of your room, you CAN. You just need to figure out how to replace the time with more variety and more people.
    Tell us how that might start....

    Isolation? Escapism? What sorrows are you trying to drown?
