hi snails 👋🖤 i love your personal blog greatly and so happy you share your thoughts with the world, it's great to see! I have PTSD and anxiety attacks too and it's comforting to see I'm not alone
I guess games can be so comforting because they have clear rules and require a certain amount of concentration, so whenever you're playing, you rewire your brain for the situation, and that means that anxiety can go to the background...psychology is interesting to think about!
thank you for reading - I'm truly so glad this was comforting to you because it was a little scary to write. Ive been dealing with panic/anxiety attack my whole life and it can be so debilitating. I hope sharing my thoughts and experiences helps you as much as it helps me too <3 I also wrote this in part because I thought it was so interesting after discovering video games as a means to cope haha.

*note, when I've said anxiety attacks I means "anxiety, anxiety attacks and panic attacks"
