"Pokemon Go has helped me battle my depression"

#PokemonGO: Hello all!Ignore the awful pun in the title.I wanted to thank this community for being so awesome. Pokemon has really changed me in lots of ways. I suffer from depression periodically which makes me not want to leave my house. Well it's hard to play this game without doing any movement, but trust me I've tried.I’m now much more active, I’ve lost 11 pounds in the last month. Before the idea of a walk was not exciting. Now I go on long walks and listen to Podcasts or Audio books too (learning and exercise, yasss).I’ve made friends. I’ve explored more areas around where I live. Even following some Pokemon Go Youtubers, such as Trainer Tips and Reversal even inspired me to start a Youtube Channel about my journey through weightloss, despite a long hiatus from making videos. I forgot how much I enjoyed making them.This is more than a game, it creates a community. I’m more active, outgoing and willing to put myself out there, so thanks y’all. Keep on having fun! via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2iecEMS
