Grief, ED recovery, Mental Health and all the lovely things that give my Sisyphean rock meaning
Mass Effect changed my life. It helped me through some of my darkest moments, became part of my relationship with my son, and filled my home with memories. But what happens when something you love becomes connected to things you no longer feel comfortable supporting?
While battling a cluster headache episode, I decided the logical distraction was trying Misery Mode in The Long Dark. Armed with pancakes, tea, a hammer, and a teddy bear, I somehow survived 47 days. No hacksaw, no bow, no plan - just chaotic decisions and a deeply committed pancake strategy.
Spirit City gave me something I didn’t know I needed - a quiet space where my digital self could sit, eat, cry, and heal beside me. It’s not just a game. It’s a soft place to land when the world is too loud. Recovery, raccoons, and rain sounds included.
