This is video game related but also MH related.

I’ve been playing this, World of Warcraft, for 4 days now, and besides it being the best game I think I’ve ever played in my life... it has also helped my mental health quite a bit.

It’s an MMORPG from 2004, but still stands as one of the greatest mmo’s and rpg’s still out today. You can literally do WHATEVER you want in the game. Literally. It’s like a cross between animal crossing, Pokémon, gta, etc I mean aspect and facet-wise. Omg I even found a mental health WoW group/guild on there. I mean the possibilities are literally endless of what you can do. I wish I had gotten into it sooner. Much much much sooner. Fiancé actually introduced me to it. I was hesitant to try it because it was from 2004 but they apparently still come out with expansion packs today etc all kinds of stuff for the game every year because it’s a game that’s still very high in demand and has one of the most loyal fanbases. Oh! I could go on!

Anyway, I have seen a reduction in my anxiety and depression so far, playing it. I was able to go out and vote yesterday when I thought I absolutely wasn’t gonna be able to go at all like 99% thought that. I was able to goto other stores too. I know it’s only been four days so far or 5. But I can see some really good potential in this game for self-care.

If y’all are wondering what you can do in the game, well... ANYTHING you want. You can farm, have pets, do quests, receive mail, join guilds and communities, have pet battles, do raids, fight bosses, meet friends, I mean ugh. That’s not even touching the tip of the iceberg and it can be overwhelming in the sense that there’s literally THOUSANDS of things you can do in the game. And I like that you arent forced to do things in a certain manner. It’s open world, so you explore the world as u want. Not to mention the game has like 5 or 6 continents and like 10 cities in each continent, probably more! I liked that I was able to explore the forest and catch any animal I wanted to, to be my pet. I got a fox, wolf, owl, and cat so far. I caught the cat in town.
