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

I game and even stream from time to time. I love just spacing our to some ark or minecraft while listening to my favorite podcast. I mostly do survival and building games. I love it when I finish a big build, definitely a stress reliever for me.

I play many game to take me out of this world for a little while.

Yes, I have a single game I play when I get home in the evenings. Not every day, but most days for about 1 to 2 hours.
It helps me to take my mind off of stress and to be to relax.

Absolutely. Its a great stress reliever when I get home.

I split firewood with a maul, even though I have a wood splitter. But I do have one of those hand held low-tech Tetris games next to the commode (probably oversharing hunh?)

Yes

Yes when things trigger my PTSD & Bipolar games help distract me from going to far down the rabbit hole so to speak.

Yes I played games for a long time, then started going to Church and found that talking to the Lord Jesus and the Father GOD help me with my PTSD and the dreams I was having HE and my Wife saved my Life. that has been GOOD for the last 30 years

Yes. I never thought I would use video games to regain my focus and relieve stress but I do. It has helped me with time management and memory. I started with a virtual family game but I had quit when the first family died. (I wasn't checking in on the computer often). I started strategy games that had time structures like Bejeweled 3, Survivor: The Quest, Cadenza and moved into Sniper Fury, Asphalt 8, Asphalt Street Storm, Gods of Rome and Sudoku.

I will play video games as a stress relief, although there are times that I constantly fail missions or losing in general that it can be counterproductive.
