What? Of course completely immersing in a video game and forgetting about the entire world is relaxing!

Anyone who's ever abused ketamine or DXM knows that dissociating from reality is relaxing.

After all, have you seen reality lately?

I really don't know how to relax. I always feel stressed, even after a day of doing whatever I want. Any tips? I really don't know what to do about it.
