| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  |

| |  What Computer Games / Video Games Do You Play To Relax?
Hey all!
I was just wondering, does anyone here play any computer games or video games to help them relax?
I just recently discovered a game called Bejeweled and it's addicting. It's very mind numbing, doesn't take a whole lot of skill but I find it to be very relaxing.
Best,
Rachel |

Free Cell! Putting things in order is calming, and it shuts out the rest of the world for a while. 
Used to play WWII first person shooters, but since I began therapy I am avoiding triggers (no pun intended!) |

Majong and Spider Solitaire. When it's the middle of the night and I need to come off the cieling from a nightmare or distract myself from a flashback I come right to my computer for focused non brain distraction. |

Bejeweled one of my favorites. Solitary my very fav. Wonder if that has a deeper meaning since I am alone much of my life.

I think the games I play most of you would not find relaxing... when I have some negative feelings I like to play something like Starcraft or Diablo 2. Somehow I just feel less angry after blowing up some random pixels. I also enjoy Portal (minimal on the violence) and the occasional game of Tetris. I am also a huge fan of role playing games. :D | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
