Games that helps you through healing journey

Just want to ask gamers here, is there any video game that helps you through your healing journey? I found that in my case, video games help me through those time. Mine was Zelda Breath of the Wild. That game really helps me going through breakup, I really love the open world and exploring gameplay of that game. Other than that, Death Stranding helps me too back in two years ago

Am I the only one? :(

Whenever I do something, I, mostly, end up doing it ‘wrong’.

For eg : I cleaned the coffee mugs and stacked 2-2 mugs together and in the evening when I pick one cup another one was stuck to it and it just fell down from 1/2inches and broke.

Another example : I was cleaning the floor(jhaadu) and I swiped one side and suddenly my extension cord broke??!

Many similar things have been happening to me, and i don’t know why.

I am not someone who is ‘irresponsible’ I have never experienced such back to back weird things in my life. It’s not like I get zoned out, I’m well aware of things happening. But these things has led me to get anxious a lot. Every time there’s any sort of noise I get startled. Why is this happening?

I hate myself

Everyone has faded out of my life, and my goals are so far I can just count them as stars I'll never be closer with, and I am alone. I fall back into my weaknesses over and over, and truly, I know they will always be there. They are now. Why would any of you even care about what I have to say. Idk what I want.

What can I do to show myself love and kindness?

I'm really good at showing love to others and can express all five love languages. However, I recently realized that I'm not a emotionally loving toward myself. I often seek love and validation from others to boost my self-esteem and feel connected. I want to break this pattern and start giving that love directly to myself.

No matter who you are, always be nice

I’ve been thinking a lot about how small acts of kindness can make a huge difference. You never know what someone is going through—whether it’s a tough day at work, personal struggles, or just a bad mood. A kind word, a little patience, or even just a smile can turn things around.

Rant: Enjoying life while fat

Does anyone else feel like they kind of let life pass them by when they’re not close to their ideal weight? I have been making efforts to lose weight and the progress is so much slower now that I’m in my 30s. I was fit throughout my 20s and slowed down right after I gave birth to my daughter around 28 years old. Then it seemed like overnight the weight effortlessly piled on in a way I’d never experienced before. I wasn’t gorging myself a la 600lb life, but I’m also quite short so there’s a smaller margin of error so to speak when it comes to feeling like you look good after gaining weight and how easy it is to gain weight in my 30s. My fiancé made special plans for my birthday and Valentine’s Day. And I already cancelled last year because I didn’t like how I look. I feel bad doing it again but when I went to go try on clothes for our little trip(domestic) I cried in the dressing room. I grudgingly go on our date nights even though I feel uncomfortable the whole time, I still just try to make the best of it and focus on our love for each other. And I’ve also joined a therapy program to try to deal with my issues so I’m doing all that she asks of me to try and start participating more in my life.

Anxious Attachment style

I think for me self love is not easiest to do because i got an anxious attachment style which only hurts me in the end

I am lot more brittle here now, because i want to make sure i am with someone who communicates properly

However Relationship takes two people and when other people is involved it makes things so messy

For me for major part self love is the thing that reasonably work for me because I cant take the emotional trauma sometimes
