GAMING & DEPRESSION - How To Control It
15So, I want to start by sharing with you all about my personal struggles with depression. For a long time, it felt like a weight that I carried around with me all the time. It made even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming, and it was hard to find joy in anything.
But over time, I've found some strategies that have been really helpful for me in managing my depression. One thing that's been really important is regular exercise - even just a short walk can make a big difference in my mood. I've also found therapy to be incredibly helpful, as well as medication.
And of course, self-care is a big part of managing depression for me. This could mean taking a hot bath, reading a book, or just taking some time to do something I enjoy. It's important to remember that everyone's journey with mental health is different, but I hope that by sharing my experience, it can help others who may be struggling with depression as well.

As someone who has and still does struggle with depression, I found myself struggling to find motivation and joy in everyday life. It felt like everything was dull and uninteresting, and I couldn't seem to shake off the constant sadness that weighed on me. That was until I discovered the joy of playing games on my PS5 and PC.
At first, I was hesitant to even try playing games. It felt like a waste of time and energy, and I couldn't see how it would make a difference. But I decided to give it a chance and found that gaming gave me an outlet for my emotions. I could escape into a different world and forget about my problems for a little while.
Playing games also allowed me to connect with other people. I could join online communities and play with others who shared my interests. It felt good to be part of something and have a sense of belonging, even if it was just in a virtual world.
As I continued to play games, I found that my mood started to improve. I felt more motivated and energized, and the constant sadness lifted. Playing games gave me a sense of purpose and accomplishment, as I worked to achieve new goals and challenges within the game.
Overall, playing games on my PS5 and PC was a big part of my journey to overcoming depression. It gave me a way to escape and connect with others, and helped me feel more motivated and purposeful. While it wasn't a cure for my depression, it was an important tool in my toolbox for managing my mental health.
