Mary Codey, former NJ First Lady, describes the painful experience of going through postpartum depression.

now I found out the reason what could cause my waves of depression.
when a person plays video games, some chemicals releases into the body (adrenaline, dopamine). a person becomes literally adDicted to playing video games. I was playing games for 5 – 10 hours per day. my record is 18 hours of playing. video games were my life. when I was beaten, I found comfort in video games. I remember when my parents forbid me playing video games. I thought I’m gonna go mad and lose my mind, I couldnt stand without playing a game.
please correct me if I am wrong.

so through all those 8 years since I started playing computer games, my body adjusted to large amounts of dopamine being released into the body, so thats what usually made me happy. you have got no idea how happy I was when I was going home from my friend with a new video game. its the same feeling like being in love. anyway now when I’m bored, I get depressed. I read on wikipedia ‘Low levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine may lead to depression.’ link. in the morning after work with cows, there is nothing to do, nothing. I am soooo bored and then that depression can come (not always). then I’m bored/depressed all until lunch time. food makes people happy cause of dopamine. so after lunch if there is nothing to do all until evening, then I can also get depressed and bored. I wanna work anything at home or at least something. sometimes people defend from work, but I wanna work or at least go somewhere.
I’ve had some hobbies but nothing makes me happy like video games. now I dont play them cause I have to upgrade my computer. so now I’m wondering what to do? should I keep continue playing video games, so I wont be bored/depressed? or should I go for antidepressants? talking with my friends makes me happy but I can talk to them in the evening. but I need something through the day.

believe me, I can be smiled and happy, but sometimes I just feel to die and I have people to live for. then I wonder why I feel like that and I see that I dont have any big reason to feel depressed and then I just think its a phase. but now I guess its the chemicals fault.

am I right?
