Thank - you to all of those who wished me a happy birthday last week. I am sorry I have not been on sooner but I got sick on my B'day and I am just starting to feel better now.

I have found somekind of self therapy for myself. Playing video games. Seeing I can not seek tradional therapy. When I am really depressed I play my most violent games and it really helps to go into another world and for get about the world you live in for a while. I can take out my frustrations on the characters in the game and it makes me feel alot better.

I have a GameBoy Sp, a GameCube, a PlayStation PS, and I just a XBox for my Birthday last week.

I know it is not a replacement for therapy but seeing I can not go to therapy because of my personal situation it is the next best thing for me.

Does anyone else play games?

Thank - you for your time.

Take care of yoursleves.

Hugs,

Cathy

Cathy, I play computer games to numb my mind. My therapist says I need to have a safe zone and that is where I go. Hugs, Brenda

That stinks that you were sick on your b-day..and you're just recovering now? Poor thing. I used to have a N64 that was my zone-out therapy...MARIOCART and WIPEOUT. My mom recently got an XBOX but the controler is harder to deal with she says and I don't want to play it b/c I don't want it eating up my time.

happy belated b-day....mine was on the 7th of june
