General / Off-Topic Planet Coaster helped me through depression

I wanted to share this because not only do I think Planet Coaster is a great game, but it's also helped me through a rough couple of months. The last 5 months or so of my job has been very difficult. My job became a lot more demanding and my free time was cut down a lot with no extra pay. Because of the increase in stress and lack of off time, I started to feel really down. But one thing that really helped me through that was Planet Coaster. On really bad days I'd set aside at least an hour when I got home if nothing else to jump on and play. The creative control, art style, and overall charm of the game was always able to bring a little sunshine to my day. I've always loved Theme Park games since I was a kid, and Planet Coaster brings a lot of the that childhood feeling back. Things are going much better for me now, so I wanted to share what Planet Coaster has meant to me over the last few months. It's given me something to look forward to after long days, and it's gotten me excite to come to the forums to check out the new updates. I've never once regretted buying the early alpha, and will continue to support the game as long as Frontier continues to work on it. Thanks to the dev team, and thanks to the PC community for making this a fun experience to be apart of. Looking forward to the future of the game and the community.

Glad you are doing better. True, games really can help you through hard times, but if you are really down and depressed, I would still seek professional help.
