Does gaming usually regulate or dysregulated your mood?

Playing video games brings about good feeling, whenever I'm feeling sad due to tragedies of life and stress I simply handle my controller and entertain myself by playing the games I love yo return the happiness back.

When the game gets too tough and very hard for me to continue, I'll simply disconnect myself from the game. Moreover not all video games I'll find easy going. 

Yeah, I do take a lot time off sometimes when I get hooked up to clear my head up and come back playing better.

Resting is part of man's therapy to feel refreshed, without adequate rest we wouldn't have that drive to continue, little dizziness will come forth.

When you rest properly you'll feel replenish. If you're having pains such pains wouldn't surface, then you can simply play games when recovered fully.

When I feel exhausted, I simply take a rest before going to visit my console, in order to feel sound and enjoy the spirit of the game.

When I'm emotionally traumatized, gaming helps me regain the passion to continue being happy for life, that's a positive response indeed.

My mood is always tied to the games that I play with my time, so it's very possible that it can regulate my mood to the positive or negative.

Yes, it regulated the mood enormously provided that video game is our thing. When it doesn't suit you, you can't feel happy around it. I always find video games wanting in my life.

One of the reasons why people play video game is for them to actually feel happy with what they do playing the games so video games are very capable of affecting their mood.

My mood is always tied to my games which is why I'm very picky when it comes to the kind of video games that I get into.

Yeah, when you get into gaming, you simply wants to feel happy around it. Anything that goes contrary to that isn't about gaming anymore.

I believe that it's something that's got to do with the reason why I started playing a particular game that determines if and how it would affect my mood.
