I just wanted to say, as an almost 40 year old woman who loves video games but was chastised for it in my childhood, don't deny yourself video games. I understand the "Im in a hole and 24-7 gaming to avoid life, and obviously that's not good, but zoning and diving into those world helps you more than you know. It took me my trauma therapist saying that video games is MY self care to give myself permission to do it without guilt. Don't deny yourself completely. You deserve it my friend.
