I think the first two are more depression. #3 is addiction.
All are a problem - recognize them as such and seek ways to correct. I think actual therapists have gotten better about taking shit like this seriously. If you can’t afford that, I’d shoot for some kind of hobby (especially one with a social component), but with the understanding that those can murder your time management as well, so proceed with caution.
Good that you recognize it. Our brains are sneaky little assholes, so shining the spotlight on their bullshit when it starts to pop up is a HUGE first step.

Yeah, this. I have a history of depression, and the first two are, no kidding, legitimately how I know I’m spiralling down.

Okay, I just joined a guild in WoW and started doing 40-man raids. What’s the next step?
