Just thought I might mention the role a video game has played recently toward helping me.

A few weeks ago I was borderline suicidal. The thought of living in pain forever more yada, yada, you all know that dark path I'm sure.

Enter the Elder Scrolls Online game and wow! I'm lost in a world of fighting dragons and saving villages from pirates and monsters. And it's so much fun! So much so that while I'm playing I totally forget the pain.

Just this week, after hubby left for work I took my pills, sat down with a hot chocolate milk, and settled at my computer to play the game. Honestly, before I knew it, what felt like a few hours was the whole day. I turned around to see it dark outside, and to discover my feet hurt!

Immersion is the key. Whether it be a game, a great book, whatever it be. I only wish I could play the game non-stop, for 24/7 pain free existing again.

And I'm in my 50's, games are meant for kids. Ohhhh well, it works for me.
