READY PUFFY

Try P5 so u can act like u got friends

>cure my depression

Not if you like little overly happy purple haired girls in your party....

I did it was too handholdy and worse than P2 and P4

>cure depression
nothing can. The best you could get is a game that can make you forget about your life for awhile.

This game genuinely feels like an adventure from start to finish.

This. Damn the music too.

No.

Go to the doctors and tell them and you'll probably get prescribed sertraline like I did.

It was a horrendous couple of months on that stuff - I'd never want to get out of bed, my life was genuinely even worse than when I was depressed bc that shit just amplified it, but it got a little better every day.

Took 6 months but I got through it and stopped wanting and trying to kill myself, so I'd probably go with that route.

It gets better, user. I'm procrastinating a third year uni essay right now that's due in for tomorrow. This time last year I had to admit I was depressed to my family and it was the painful thing I've ever done, and I got hit by a tram when I was a kid.

Word of warning user, try as hard as you fucking can to get off that stuff. Don't go to bed at 3am every day. Don't wake up in the afternoon. Force yourself up and early to do things, even if its just making your bed and having some cereal. Do what you can to help yourself, because you can be damned sure that despite people pretending to care, when you're on anti-depressants, no-one ever wants to fucking talk to you or gives two shits about you because they don't want the hassle.

Improve yourself, improve your life, and fucking hell don't get addicted to that stuff, the withdrawal symptoms made me go fucking insane.

Good luck. Why the fuck did I write a serious answer to this thread?

Maybe...

No, because escapism and instant gratification can't cure anything. Grandia is an absolute treasure, though.

It will make it worse when you finish it. This game will make you very melancholic, it has a lot of bitter-sweet moments.

I feel really sorry for ppl like u

No video game can do what a gun will do better

tl;dr this series saved my life. Yeah it's pretty fucking pathetic looking back on it but it kept me going.

This guy has the right idea though.

I don't think a single game can do it, entire series can.

Depends on the person.

Man, good luck with your life.
Honestly..

I have deep depression and can't even play vidya because of that. Only medicine have chance to cure this shit if you talk about real illness.

Depression is permanent.

How depressing.

Russian roulette is the only game that can cure depression.

Grandia? Possibly. It's one of the most feel-good of feel-good games.

According to some studies, yes. However, if you have an 'unhealthy' relationship with vidya already, then you'd best stay clear

>should

last i checked that was called a moral code and was the foundation for civilization as we know it.
