Dragon age helped me with depression
I had depression back then and my family wasn't to supportive about it, mostly because they were the reason why i had depression in the first place. So I decided I will do something to have a better life and I moved to my best friend house, but because our country currencies is soooo bad he was forced to work in another country to support his and my life (i had a job but it was barely paid anything). When he left he gaved me his Xbox and paid for Xbox game pass so I wouldn't be bored. My biggest problem wasn't the boredom but my growing depression, but I was like why not, better than just going work and sleeping or just laying all day. That was when I found the dragon age series, I didn't wanted to play out the first game, it didn't looked to appealing to me first so I started playing the second game, it just looked better for me.
And that was when I fell in love with the games, yeah the DA2 was bad compared to the others, but the characters was so memorable, so lovable in every way, they felt real. And yes, that made me want to play out the other games. Those who suffered from depression know how bad is that you just exist without purpose or anything to pass time with, so this games helped me to have something to do instead of bed rotting.
Now after one year my depression is better than ever, I still have it according to my doctor, but I feel much better, just because a game made me get out of bed and do something.
