Balancing Gaming with Stress and Anxiety

If you’re dealing with stress or anxiety, I know how gaming can be both a relief and a challenge. In this video, I’m sharing my story in hopes that it encourages you. Gaming has helped me find calm, but it’s also been a double-edged sword at times. I want to share what’s worked for me, in case it can help you too. You’re not alone in this, and sometimes hearing someone else’s experience can make a big difference. Thanks for watching. #gaming #gamingvideos

The off-the-cuff-self-help-gaming era of this channel is going hard as hell.

[@reloadedspade176]

Facts BBK been straight cooking

[@nomadicstrength]

Agreed

[@mahdisheheryar2008]

Dude seriously why are u so underrated?? These videos have helped me a ton, thanks a lot man and keep em' coming!

[@colethornton6716]

As a therapist, I appreciate your focus on self care and paying attention to our emotions and limits in the context of gaming. Really good stuff you do!

[@Citizen_JV]

Agreed

[@josejourneybb]

The existence itself of a channel and videos like this is a huge sign of what’s going on and where we’re going. But love the videos man, thanks ❤for

[@eagleyezxgaming]

Listening to you talk about your stress helps me to deconstruct and understand my own - love your videos man.

[@TheRetroDen]

As someone who suffers from a small degree of anxiety I can relate, my answer to it tho was to completely abandon competitive games to eleminate them as a source of stress completely

[@LexJoeHome]

The greatest stress and anxiety reliever wombo combo: Exercise and a nap. Don't sleep on the naps. Err maybe do sleep on them? Just lay down for 5-25 minutes and see if your problems suddenly feel more manageable.

[@AlexandruGrigoras7]

This does resonate and is really helpful. After my binging for a long time on productive, hustling, fixing problems, and the sort that only promote more work and adjustments, your videos feel like the total opposite. While doing important things and advancing in life is important, so are other aspects that can easily be neglected because of how we might approach life... I find your videos calming and empowering, touching on the sides that i personally seem to neglect, and bringing a balance through the perspective presented.

[@SpikeSpoogle]

I was thinking we had very different taste in games until the switch video and now I open this and see Pseudoregalia, which I probably beat 6 times. It's so good.

[@rebecon]

Speaking about the meta difficulties about navigating your 20’s in the context of gaming has been amazing, PLS keep it up!

[@AlejandroMéndez-j6j]

I like talking, but I have no friends so I try to play or watch something when I need time. I don't have a formal job (a master's degree is not helpful) and I cannot afford therapy (consequences of leaving the PhD program in Japan after my supervisor got physically violent last year and no one helped... 100% recommended experience)

[@erickwaitforit]

I've been watching your content for years, and its so great seeing you get the support and love your channel deserves

[@vans2548]

Thanks for this one and for keeping it real here, can tell its thoughts that have come from a place of much reflection, really resonates

[@dewdusmaximus7692]

Relatable as hell. Happy for the weekend, and I hope everyone here has a great one!

[@noino1]

What you said about starcraft 2 and fighting games is exactly why i love fighting games so much, i love the 1v1 environment of it so much that it has basically ruined team games for me at this point.

[@EzzK1LL]

I was going through the same period, i work shifts in a port terminal is it so hard to keep up with work and good sleeping patterns and gaming start to became less and less fun. I needed to rewire my brain and not to stress about everything and im good now thank you for this video

[@rodkimble11]

Have a fun weekend Dragoon, time to de-stress and have a blast :-)

[@jrobinson902]

This video deserves a lot more credit, and a lot more exposure. Great work! Keep it up 💪🏻

[@oneill6291]

[@TaZerrHD]

i love your videos, thanks for the chat!

[@StormShockTV]

Literally read this as "Finding clam"

[@sawsandra_]

I dealt with Streas and Anxiety like GAD, and I was on meds, also sense May 2024, I took a long break from Splatoon, and also currently taking a PvP Hiatus from Gaming also. Like Warframe and Single Player Games also. I will make sure I feel better in 2025.

[@JonoK5]

Another W video man!

[@exactly1176]

It's blowing my mind to see how fragile and self destructive human beings are.... (including myself). Being stressed and burnt out is pure self destruction. Why are we like that ? That remains a mystery to me 🤔 It's like our own brain attack us to make us feel stressed and uncomfortable etc... And like everybody (as i can see) I have my ups and downs lol. It's wild ! I wish we were stronger and could controle our stupid brain better ...

[@fddodgers11]

yeah it wasn’t a good week for me, with all the time limited games i play. Also i need to stop looking at the leaving game pass soon section. Binged one of those and then i missed doing finishing touches to the horizon festival playlist before it expired.

[@dmcgee2493]

What is the name of the background music? It's so relaxing!

[@watercat1248]

What game is this game you playing on the background it looks interesting 0:00

[@TheLeemur48]

One of the B’s in BBKDragoon is for Based 😮‍💨

[@Tommydabomby]

What software do you use to record games like Red Dead Redemption 2? I can’t seem to get it to record at 60fps. 🤣 I wish I could make my gameplay look as good as yours.

[@caleberwin65]

What is that first game?

[@HeartReeves]

What game is that I love the art style

[@Woupsme]

At which time stamp? He's featuring various games in the video :)

Life is hard right now, I always worry that we’re going to lose democracy because of politics, and I also worry that we might go to a world war 3 because of the war overseas, there’s a reason why I’m taking a break from certain games to not add stress to stress, climate change is another reason too, I can’t handle extreme heat, I was born in the winter, and I can’t handle regular heat as it is, I have to take a break from certain things to not overwhelm myself, and that’s the reason why I am taking a break from certain games!

[@Woupsme]

No problem in that. It's only a great thing listening to yourself.

[@jalilmonroe1289]

dude it’s ok, democracy isn’t going anywhere regardless of who the president is because the president doesn’t have autonomy over the entire government

[@RainSenshi]

What game is this?

[@Rougecom]

Fortnite

[@emmett3344]

pseudoregalia

[@RainSenshi]

@@emmett3344 thanks. It's not on console rip
