When I read about this study on psych central, I was super intrigued - because I just went through a little tetris addiction in the past couple of weeks After I was raped, I played tetris ALL THE TIME - not right afterwards, but maybe a year later. I played so much that when I lay in bed at night waiting to fall asleep, I could play little tetris games in my head, watching the pieces fall and putting them into their litle slots.

I certainly wasn't using it at the time to consciously avoid flashbacks/memories/feelings....but it probably served that purpose in a way.

Of course, like other people have said, I'm dealing with that stuff NOW, but maybe that's okay, because NOW I have the support in place (sort of, anyhow!) to deal with stuff. Hmmmm......
