Hi DragonofPain,

I did read this article a couple of days ago as I was addicted to tetris through one of my major trauma's at the age of 16. I played it constantly maybe even four hours each day (this went on for at least 18 months). It was a distraction from the other emotional stuff. But what I have found now is that I have delayed PTSD which has become far more complex than it needed to be. Now with tetris an games alike they trigger me, which take me back to that time and all the stuff is raw and much is remembered, fresh as. I guess that it was a saviour during the time but has become a kind of enemy now that I am dealing with stuff I could of faced up to many years earlier and other people would of understood my pain better then than now.
