Hello GiftOfGames community,

I have depression and I’m currently sick. I woke up this morning fine and later in the day I started feeling sick. I have little motivation to play games right now even though I would like to, partly because I have a headache and from not feeling good. I don’t usually feel this way. I’m really sad and feel lonely because I’m single. I felt some rejection from a lady I wanted to be with. That really affected me. I did some therapy and feel better. I just realized why I feel little motivation. I am talking to a new lady and realizing now it might not work out because I’d possibly have to relocate and I can’t. She’s so beautiful, and meets my preferences for someone I’d like to date and so I’m saddened if she can’t relocate.

Who else feels this way sometimes, or currently going through a similar phase?

I am really happy I have my dog to keep me company.

Thank you for reading! And God bless you.

Thank you so much. Here’s a big thank you for a calm and relaxing game.

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing well! This community is simply amazing and wonderful and supportive! Thank you for being so kind to me and to others, helping us to enjoy life more and enjoy gaming! I was last gifted Ghost of Tsushima and I’ve been playing that game and I was so happy to see I was gifted. I was gifted Scars Above but unfortunately I can’t play it because the game causes health issues and I have to lay down and rest from massive extreme tension headaches.

Before I begin, as to why I can’t afford the game, I’m a disabled veteran and I would be so grateful for Tomodachi Life Living the Dream!

As a veteran living with depression, often times the most difficult part of my day is finding something pulls my mind away from stress, isolation, or painful memories.

I struggle with anxiety and depression, and once in awhile be difficult for me to relax because of depression or hyper vigilance. This game helps create the sense of calmness for the mind to feel safe. Tomodachi Life helps because it creates a calm, low-pressure world where you can just breathe, relax, and laugh and feel connected again. Action games have their place. Though they are filled with stressful situations. Tomodachi Life is centered with humor, friendship, creativity, and small daily interactions with characters you create that look like your friends and family or someone in real life and you watch them have funny b and memorable interactions. That feels comforting instead of overwhelming.

The game gives a sense of routine and control, which can be important when anxiety makes the day feel uneasy. You create characters, build relationships, and then watch funny events happen! Watching simple moments with the characters joke around, or support one another brings warmth helping with loneliness and negative thoughts.

Being a veteran with depression I sometimes isolate. And Tomodachi Life encourages emotional engagement in a gentle way. This game will give my mind something positive to focus on and space to relax. The lighthearted humor in the game can help with interrupting times where I overthink, and stress.

I know this isn’t a cure for depression and doesn’t It doesn’t replace therapy or treatment, which I have both. But having this game would mean a lot as a healthy tool to use with therapy and treatment, it can be a healthy coping tool that can provide emotional relief for me on difficult days.

Thanks so much for reading, and have a great day everyone! 🙏

Hey everyone at Gift of Games, I hope you are all doing well today.

I wanted to see what your dream game to play is or would be?

This discussion is for fun and to talk in a fun space where we enjoy games.

My dream game is Ghost of Tsushima. I recently was gifted it by the very kind person

u/Cautious-Warning-514 and I have been enjoying it so much! It’s engaging and relaxing too. Riding the horse through the grassy areas and playing the flute are relaxing. The visuals are really well done.

This person was so kind to gift me a game. Thank you for gifting me the game. I woke up in the middle of the night, probably to turn over lol. And I decided to look at my phone. And I was so surprised to see someone that said they would gift me the game!

Thank you, I pray lots of good things happen and come your way.

Thank you so much for gifting me this game. I was surprised I won the giveaway! Thank you again.
