I play bullet mostly for fun when I am choked with stress!
Playing bullet for about one hour give me headache, so I also play when I cant sleep at night. (tiredness and headache is good enough for me to fall asleep).
Is bullet chess good or bad for you?

If the bullet hits your head or any other essential organ, you are at fatal risk. Otherwise, it will pain, but you will survive.
bullet is great

Overplaying bullet might introduce bad habits or stall progress in strategic and positional understanding.

I seem to lose all my games on time, most often in positions where I have a crushing advantage. Often several pieces up, or about to deliver a forced mate.
If I were playing with real pieces and a real clock I would easily finish off the games.
But on-line, no matter how quickly I move all the comms in-between means that my moves consume at least a full second each. It makes no difference what I use: mouse, touchpad, joystick, graphics tablet or game controller. Yet somehow my opponents manage to respond in half a second or less.
If this is the case for anybody reading this, I would highly recommend playing with increment (I'd recommend it regardless). 1+1 for bullet, 3+2 for blitz, 15+10 for rapid is going to treat you a lot better than flat 1, 3, or 10 minute time controls. If you can envision a forced mate and you are playing with increment, you should be able to deliver it regardless of time remaining on your clock, assuming you haven't already reached 0.
Honestly, I wish chess.com would make 1+1 for bullet, 3+2 for blitz, 15+10 for rapid the defaults, far less cheesy.
Lowkey bad
bullet is very bad for you.
