Your four emotional needs ring true to me. I’ve also spent a good chunk of time playing video games. Can I suggest trying out mountain biking as an alternative source of adrenaline? IME it’s possible to balance the risk if you stay conscious of what you are doing and confident enough to skip a challenging feature when you’re not feeling it.
Thank you for the recommendation, I'll definitely look into it, I've been trying to find an activity that will get me more outdoors so perhaps biking has what I'm looking for.
