Going through so much depression and this game is helping me immensely

[DamianFatale]

I'm going to be real. I am depressed, and not doing very well mentally irl. My communication skills aren't always the best, and I feel isolated even more during the pandemic.

Just being able to log in and instantly find a friend to run something with practically at any time of the day is helping.

This game is.. a life saver. Literally.

Have a good day.

Was for me as well, comfortable. But then I had to quickly escape from it, to not to get depression back and anxiety.

That's why MMOs are so good. You can go from being completely bored and isolated to feeling the complete opposite - surrounded by crowds of people and having interactions in numerous different chats. If you need 3 friends for 20 minutes you can queue into a dungeon and you have them immediately.

It is great that you can find some sort of comfort in an MMO. I can relate to this post on so many levels, seeing as I was in a similar spot about 10 years ago. It wasn't FF XIV that kept me going though. It was WoW. FF XIV helped a few years later though. It really is amazing what an MMO can provide to keep you going one day at a time. Sure, they are both just video games at the end of the day, but for some they can becoming something...more.

One day, when we're able to visit other data centres, please feel free to pop by my way if you still feel like this. Not a therapist, just willing to take time to listen, if you need it. Take care. <3

I got that down. You don't need to worry about that, but people who have mental health problems don't just need therapy and professional help. They need a community, be that online, or in real life, the principle is the same.
