Lets say you get pulled over by the police because you are in a parking lot racing around in your car. You think you are in a Mario Brothers cart and your only excuse is that you just made a your high score.
Another symptom might be you get trigger finger and have to have surgery to release it. Ouch. Or you pick up your steak knife at dinner and try to sleigh the dragons flying overhead.
How about when you go bowling with friends and you can't actually get the ball down the lane because you are used to the wii and bowling from your living room. Even worse, when actually bowl more than a 200 at a bowling alley after you have only bowled one other time in your life.
Insomnia, loss of appetite, withdrawal from society; these are all extreme symptoms especially when you realize you haven't left the house in a month. How do your symptoms reveal themselves?
