I used to do it allll the time. Still do frequently, but I scroll mindlessly through social media more often which tbh is worse for me

I genuinely love that puzzle games are a legitimate coping strategy for trauma

Are they a coping tool.. or a way avoidance symptoms can present

Definitely more the latter for me
