Have any of you turned to video games for stress relief?

As of this moment im using my old army tactics book for division 2 curious it actually works

yes. it is stress relieving and helps me problem solve with a smoother transition without getting so pissed off

Yes, I was a part of a study at landstuhl where they gave us xbox's and a huge selection of games. We were told to keep a log of what and when we played. From what I saw, even guys who never played before deployment liked playing the games even as a way to detatch ourselves from the stress of the combat that we had just experienced in real life. I have even noticed a COP that was used in a certain game as a template for a map. It was identical in the game to the real life COP I had just left. Very surreal to see.

Most definitely good way to relieve stress out of the day. It feels good just to tune everything out for awhile.

I do is great

Yes, it allows me to calm down from the day

I play games 3-4 days a week to take away the stress OF PTSD

They are the best thing in the world to help calm me down and relax from a bad day.

Yes it is very helpful

All the time
