"Legendary raids are helping me with my depression and my anxiety [x-post from r/pokemongo]."

#PokemonGO: I have depression and the last months have been very difficult to me. I'm always sad and aphathetic feeling nothing but sadness and anger. I also have anxiety and interacting with people I don't know is always painful to me.But then the legendary raids came. In the last few months I didn't have any motivation to do anything or leave my house. But in the last few days I get up early to catch raids, then I get back home and leave again. I interact with people I've never seen before without any trouble. I took an Uber today with a guy I had never met before. That was unimaginable four days ago. I feel so excited when I catch a legendary. I don't even remember the last time I was so excited about something. This may seem stupid for those who don't play this game, but it made happy for the first time in months.Thank you, Pokémon GO. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2uz1ztv
