@DharmaGirl I haven't, are those online games, PC, or console? I have a mac so it's hard to find games for it.

My wife came home with a great website about art journals and mixed-media hobbies. It is called Cloth Paper Scissors: http://www.clothpaperscissors.com/ once you join the website they give you free ebooks on ideas and free advice. A thought if you want to expand your hobby.

Thanks @Bookoffee for the website, it sparked some inspiration… I have been triggered a lot lately, so maybe some art journaling will help!

They started out SNES, then PS1, then gameboy, then DS, then wii then 3DS. I don't know if there is an emulator for mac, I will look into it because I have a mac also.

I am so glad to hear that it was very uplifting and helpful for you. It has done the same for us.

@DharmaGirl I am thinking for asking for a a type of game console for Christmas, something like a Wii U, PS, or DS. What is your preference??

@Bookoffee thank you. I actually did a one full page and started another in my art journal… it helped a lot to get some things out of my mind on paper.. However I'm not the kind that can just write, I need inspiration and creativity so art helps!

I would go for a 3DS XL. It costs less, and if you are interested in the Harvest Moon, Rune Factory or Animal Crossing games, this is what you need. I play it the most. A 3DS will play regular DS games too. If you are interested in role playing games like Final Fantasy, the Playstation is the way to go.

I love art journaling! I have a bunch of pages in my mind that I have to do.

Well this is embarrassing, all the things I once enjoyed as hobbies I no longer do. All I do now is surf the internet. It started with a bad depressive episode, and those things I once enjoyed I no longer do. I haven't taken them backup and it has been years. Despite the depression getting better I still do not find myself doing the things I once enjoyed. I don't get it. They have to come back don't they?

@Britt.f7 , I went through the same stage. Then I started to set 15 to 30 minutes a side where I had to do something outside of the internet and outside of my mind. I started with reading a book then moved onto different art and craft sort of things. It will all come back to you once you are ready and have the mindset for change.

@Bookoffee Thank you for the reassurance. It would be sad if I didn't get them back.
