Can gaming be a positive outlet for mental health, or does it contribute to stress? Lately, I've noticed that after work, I'm increasingly drawn to games. It seems to be a way to distract myself and "reboot" my head. But there was a case when I stayed up late playing a game until almost morning, and the next day I barely functioned. Then I started to think: is it really beneficial for me, or am I just "playing" to stress? Do you think games are more helpful or harmful? ?

I’ve been wondering the same lately—gaming does help me unwind after work, like a mental reset button. But there are times I’ve gone overboard, playing late into the night and paying for it the next day. It made me question if I’m actually relaxing or just avoiding stress. It’s kind of like when I tried an iv drip manchester session—felt amazing in the moment, but you have to be mindful of how often you lean on something to feel better. Balance really is key.

I’ve been in a similar situation lately, using gaming as a way to unwind after work. I find it helps me "reboot" my mind, especially with games like Null’s Brawl for iOS, which let me enjoy all the brawlers unlocked and just have fun. But I also noticed that when I stay up too late playing, like you mentioned, I end up feeling drained the next day, which can definitely add to stress instead of relieving it. I think gaming can be a positive outlet in moderation, but when it starts affecting sleep or productivity, it’s important to find a balance. It’s all about being mindful of when and how long you’re playing!
