I would say my video games. I may sound silly, may sound a bit immature, but I’ve been hooked since I was 3, playing Mario with my aunt.
She introduced me to roleplaying games, my stories of other worlds. 60-80 hour long hero’s journeys, epics, and adventure.
It gives me a chance to occupy my mind. Like a book it transports easy and my thought patterns off of delusion, off of voices, off of the harder times.
I got hooked on RPGs when I first played Dragon Warrior and then Final Fantasy on the original NES. I’ve been playing RPGs and MMORPG’s ever since, they’re my favourite genre of game. But admittedly ever since developing this disease and being put on meds I have lost the enthusiasm I had for gaming in my youth. I bought “New World” which gets released later this month. I’m looking forward to it, but who knows, I may get bored and lose interest. I haven’t done much gaming in the last number of years so maybe it’ll be nice to get back into it.
