Heatman Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 How much are you affected mentally when you're going through a traumatic experience? Does the situation which you've found yourself in allow you to have interest in playing video games? The games can come in form of therapy on it own, knowingly or unknowingly. What's your take on video games being a good distraction when you're going through a traumatic time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 It depends on how traumatic a situation it is. If it's really bad, I tend to put gaming on the backburner a bit until I'm in a better mental state. I know gaming can make you feel better in certain situations but in my case, I'd probably be playing the game and still be thinking about my issues and how to resolve them.

Kennysplash Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 When I’m stressed, yes. But not traumatized. Trauma for me needs more than a video game, so do better when I talk to someone. But when I am tired I use games to unwind. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - Trauma is something that needs serious reflection and in some cases professional help to get over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
