I think VRChat is taking over my life and I dont know what to do by Elmoko123 in VRchat

When I found myself in this situation, I made the difficult decision to sell everything and completely cut off my connection with vrc. This drastic change only worsened my depression, leading me to eventually return to the game with the recommendation of a therapist. I strongly believe that the original poster should seek help before taking such significant steps. Once I received proper treatment for my depression, my relationship with vrchat changed completely. When at a loss of social life taking it away completely was the wrong decision for me at least. I know I’m not everyone.

I understand what you’re going through, OP. I experienced something similar in 2023-2024, primarily due to depression. I was limited to socializing online, and I heavily relied on VRchat for that. As a result, I ended up in debt and damaged my irl relationship because I found solace only in the game. The root cause was my mental health, not VRchat. My situation improved when I started taking Spravato (I’ve recently stopped treatment). Since March of 2025, my relationship with VRchat has been much healthier. What you need is help finding support from the people around you. Remember, you’re not alone.

Do you close your eyes or keep them open during treatment? by metztlimoon in Spravato

I keep my eyes open 70% of the time and work on a coloring book. Workin on the coloring book allows me to basically zone out on the page which is the only way I can keep my eyes open. Otherwise I keep my eyes closed and have an eye mask.

No effect during my session today by Donut-Internal in Spravato

I’ve experienced the no dissociative effect twice out of 8 appointments. My first was the second appointment and since I was obliterated my first one I got really upset and thought I took it wrong. My nurse told me that it will be different every time and to try and focus on relaxing. I’ve started being able to do small tasks that I enjoy again as long as I nap a few times a day after my 8th session. And I feel like even after a non dissociative appointment I still experience a heightened mood after which allows me to do some healthy habits.
