Best games to help with depression that I can play on PC? Please

Games do not help with depression. You’re merely distracting yourself from it temporarily.

Truth
Nothing as good as a nice daily shit

daily reminder that depression isn't real and is a creation by big pharmaceutical companies to get you to spend money on their bs drugs. they pay the doctors to diagnose you and get you dependent on their shit. doping yourself and going through life as a living zombie isn't the answer, being a productive member of society, living an active lifestyle, and serving The Lord is.

Depression is real, it blocks a vital function of your brain and has absolutely nothing to do with having a gf, job, etc.

Any thing that immersees you. hollow knight for example.
otherwise look for rpgs with good story you can get lost in. Pillars of eternity, wasteland 2.

The Cat Lady/Downfall/Lorelai in that order

Oh you can read immersive books also.

>you're not depressed, you're distracted
Lol as someone who was clinically depressed and worked their way through it after years and years of therapy and lifestyle changes, it has nothing to do with having shit. You can own a billion dollars and have a ton of genuine friends that care you. You can have it all and it still does not matter. Depression is a mental sickness and for many it's a lifelong disease. I'm also 31 and not some clueless freshman in college that has home sickness and sad they cant get laid.

>Depression is real, it blocks a vital function of your brain and has absolutely nothing to do with having a gf, job, etc.
Wrong, depression is a symptom, low serotonin levels aren't just happening randomly, they are influenced by your diet, environment, stress, physical activity, trauma, injury etc.
It's the same shit as a "Migrane" when doctors don't know the cause or are unwilling to bother with it they just diagnose a symptom as an illness and treat it directly without finding the root cause as it would be way to difficult.

INFRA made me go out more to explore my surroundings. It is basically an urban exploration game.

Depression Quest

coffee is good for you if you don't overdo it and don't drink it late in the day enough that it interferes with sleep. Protip: It has a half life of 6 hours

A good game is like meditation, you're immersed and focused on the story and gameplay and therefore don't have the time to think about the negative stuff.
In this case the game takes all your negative thoughts out and fills your mind with something positive, which in turn can inspire and give you motivation to confront your problems.
Depression is like a cycle of negativity, best thing you can do to break it is to change your environment or do something that is out of ordinary for you.

However if you're in too deep you won't be able to enjoy anything until you confront your problems.

Don't you think the cause of your depression is sitting inside all day playing vidya? So to counter your depression, you're gonna do something that might be the cause of your depression? Wanna know what I did to help get out of my funk? Play that pokemon go game. It's a game so you got that but it also requires you to get outside and walk. Don't even have to socialise either. It does help.

we're still animals. you will actually feel a lot better mentally if you exercise regularly. mind is body and body is mind.

I'm not great myself. I've been working hard for the last two years to pass a test to become a teacher here in France (fucking hard test because you be a teacher without passing it, and only 100 to 200 persons can pass it a year per academic discipline).

Now I actually managed to pass that test and I'll be a teacher in september, but I know I don't want to be a teacher and only did that to have to guaranteed job to help my girlfriend pay the bills.

I've been with her for nearly 4 years and we're yelling at each other so fucking often, nothing works as well now and I hate to see everything slips away from me, without being able to do anything about it.

I'm feeling lost on a daily basis, not knowing what to do and what I even want.

>diploma

That man is depressed because he lacks ambition.

>you're immersed and focused on the story and gameplay and therefore don't have the time to think about the negative stuff
Yeah that's called escapism and avoiding your problems, it doesn't solve anything it just puts the depression on hiatus, only for it to come back worse than before.
Video games are not like meditation they're like drugs. Never once has a video game inspired me to confront my problems, they just inspire me to play more video games.
You're right about the second part though, the best way to beat depression is to change your environment, even if it seems small, like moving your computer to a different room in the house.

Why do some people get so incensed at the idea depression might actually be a thing?

Ye, some ex-friends of me found another friend in his bathtub with opened wrists, after they kept complaining about "how he could do this to them". Once i told them to stop being so fucking egoistic and that this guy has it way worse they were all mad at me.
Humans are selfish creatures user. You gotta life for yourself and stop giving a shit about what others think of it, else you wont get happy.

This is true.
I also recommend some Persona 3 if you’re into JRPGs.

Because it clashes with the idea that your situation in life is 100% a product of your own effort or lack thereof. I made the effort and put in the work, so I am now successful. You did not. This is fair. But if we introduce complicating factors that can tear a person down, then this simple notion of the world falls apart.

When you meditate you focus on a certain thing for duration of your meditation, repetitive gameplay loops with repetitive music can work the same way.
On top of my head, games like mass effect can be inspiring to me,human space exploration for example; but idk I'm and artist so good games are great source of inspiration.

>it doesn't solve anything it just puts the depression on hiatus
Yes of course, and you should use this moment of clarity to do something about your depression, usually the big part of it is physical. Get in better health.Focus on self-improvement. Most of the issues will go away on their own. A good thing is not to surround yourself with negativity and stupidity (talking about 4chin here)

If you fucked up in someway forgive yourself (when you're depressed you're not entirely yourself) and move forward.

Also if any of you haven't, read meditations.

Anything that will distract you from thinking about life. So any decent game really. However, as soon as you're done playing it the depression will come crashing down back at you in full force, even stronger than before. So either pick something that will never end like a gay ass MMO or string together some RPGs and maybe afterwards you'll feel so pathetic that you decide to change something about your life.

go to a shrink, they can actually help

and if they cant help, they can save face by prescribing sweet drugs

This is bait but for anyone actually aware enough to question the prescription fad that's used to mass-hand-wave major issues plaguing everyone from preteens in schools to grown-ups in workspaces-
I saw dozens of friends in college fuck their lives up with SSRIs and shit counseling because apparently people just unsuspectingly go along with anything that's recommended to them without even giving it a second thought. The closest dealing I've had with schizophrenia was when I had to go to my dean and get a no contact order against a mental sorority chick who threatened to kill herself if I didn't love her and spend time on her. The number of "stable" people melting down on frat row that I've seen is staggering and enough to make me think harder about anything that bothers me on my own instead of running to a counselor that'll hook me up on drugs to potentially fuck my life up.

No

That's not true. It's just that it's not always something to be solved by taking a pill. I was depressed because I couldn't face all the trauma I experienced when I was younger. But being depressed actually ended up kind of helping by letting me focus on one thing at a time to face instead of it overwhelming me like it was before.

I'd ask if you know that neurochemical depression and cognitive/behavioral depression are different things, but it seems readily apparent that you don't.

But I hate games

I can't believe there are people who think their brain and thoughts are somehow isolated from what their body experiences
They're the same thing

Where did I say they were isolated? It's been shown before that pills won't help your depression depression if the cause is a shitty homelife, and therapy won't help depression if the cause is a neurochemical imbalance. You're addressing symptoms instead of the root problem
