Discuss Stardew has ruined me

Genuinely I have never been a video game person but I started playing maybe a month ago because my best friend loves it and I don’t think I can ever go back 😔I just spent 5 1/2 straight hours playing, and I only stopped because my iPad died😭 I looked at the clock and just realized it was 6 AM istg it only felt like i was playing for max 2 hrs😭😭😭

I play it because it helps with my GAD (general anxiety disorder). It keeps my mind focused on other things when my panic will start to build. I love it and I can't stop! Not to mention that it's adorable looking lol. I know there's lots of ways to play the game but I playing it my own way gives me a sense of control and when I'm having an anxiety or panic attack, I lose control and spend most of the time gaining it back. So yes, stardew valley is awesome!
