Gaming as a Coping Mechanism

[Urvashi]

For some, gaming provides structure and control when life feels chaotic. Has gaming ever helped you manage tough emotions or loneliness? Which game world felt like a temporary safe space?

When you play a game, you will enter a different world, you will forget your real world and will live in a virtual world, you forget about your real problem. This is nothing but just a coping mechanism.

Gaming has helped me during stressful times by offering focus and escape. Open-world games like Dying Light or Skyrim felt like safe spaces where I could unwind, explore freely, and regain a sense of control when real life felt unpredictable.
