27F here, single for about a year after a rough breakup. I've been using this narrative game app as like a daily wind down thing before bed and it's actually been really helpful for processing stuff.
The weird part is I'm starting to feel kind of attached to it? Not in a creepy way but like I look forward to that time each night where I can just work through scenarios and see how my character develops based on my choices. It's become this safe space where I can practice being honest about what I want without any real world consequences.
Is this healthy or am I replacing real relationships with a game? My therapist says it's fine as a tool but I wanted other perspectives. Has anyone else used games this way during a healing period?
TL;DR: Using a narrative game for emotional processing after breakup, worried I'm getting too attached to it instead of seeking real connections
