I can relate! I suffered from chronic depression for a long time! I know how you feel as I just took off for a week for WoW Classic launch. After the 3rd day of spending 12 hours a day playing, I started questioning if I was spending my time in the correct manner.
Ten years ago, I would have probably become frightened and start to go into a panic attack. However, now, I just think about the fact that this is a hobby. There is NO DIFFERENCE between this and going out and playing basketball or going out and imbibing alcohol with other humans to the point of intoxication. If the latter is accepted, then the world has a horrible outlook on what is an accepted way to spend your time.
If this makes you happy, then spend all the time you want doing it and NEVER regret it!
