I got excited when I found a Pokémon VR game on my Quest 2 a few months back. Pokémon has always been my go to to get away. When I first loaded up the game and made my trainer if was super excited. Nothing prepared me for when I clicked the pokeball to release my Bulbasaur for the first time. Mind you I have struggled with depression since I was 13 years old and I'm 35 now. But the moment I knelt down to look at him I instinctually reach out to pet it and a wave of happiness hit me harder than I've felt in 20 years. I had to take the head set off because it instantly hit me of how how I was depressed that something as simple as seeing something I've loved for so long come to life right in front of me. If feels stupid to even admit this even to strangers I've never met. I cried harder than I can ever remember doing because I was so far gone and didn't even realize how bad it actually was. Thnx for reading.
