How Guild Wars 2 has helped me overcome my mental struggles

Hi, a different video, maybe more personal on how GW2 has helped me with anxiety/depression ever since I started playing in 2015. I owe a lot to this game, it allowed me to become a Twitch partner and bond with the most amazing community I have ever met. But today, I explain how it helps me when I get overwhelmed.

Thank you for this vid. It really helps to know, that you are not alone out there with your feelings.

[@leoniekaiser7403]

I came from your stream where I asked for tips on what to do when you're only just coming back to the game. You talked about your ADHD and I relate to your struggles. You redirected me to this video and I just wanted to say thank you. I honestly feel motivated and empowered to get to sorting my inventories and finding love in the game again. THANK YOU!

I've been there. GW2 did let me forget my burden while I logged in the game. It kept me busy and let me talk with people safely behind the screen. I'm not proud of what i've been through but i'm glad i went past the state of depression. It let me learn to let things go.

[@stenza4312]

I'm not used to do that but... I feel like for once, a youtube video has a really deep purpose and I think that you should know that your video is priceless.. I come from Guadeloupe, a french carribean island, I don't play gw2 to often but you know, it's a vibe. Thanks for what you are doing, thanks for helping others, thanks for being such a wonderful human being

[@Raavalicious]

You are so kind. So gentle. So precious to this world. Thanks for reminding me to breathe.

[@zpinkcloudz]

This was soothing. You have such great strength in vulnerability and storytelling. These are only some of your charms. Thank you for sharing your process. You're a beautiful soul

[@Scaylet123]

This was so calming. Thank you for sharing a little bit more of yourself. You are truly an incredible person ❤

[@blackstarkami]

I'm a simple man, I see Raava I click

[@general_incompetence]

Beautiful. Sometimes life can be hard. Very hard. But videos like this show how you can help yourself. GW2 (and games in general) can be such a support, be it from feeling accomplished, spending time with friends, or just simple things like this. I'm so glad you posted this. A lot of people out there are struggling. If this video can help even a single one, then it's worth all the effort. But I like to think it'll help more than one. You've always been a constant support, a friendly, kind-hearted person who strives to help others dealing with a whole myriad of issues, even as you work through your own. And in being brave enough to post this beautiful video, you keep helping. We appreciate you 💗

[@nanushka3122]

Thank you for sharing this with us

[@asteriwolf6235]
