Is Escapism a Healthy Coping Mechanism?

Everyone has something they enjoy doing and a big part of controlling anxiety is keeping your mind distracted so you don’t start focusing on a small twinge on the back of your hand that sends you spiraling into a endless abyss of anxiety. Anyways I don’t think it’s necessarily “unhealthy” as long as you’re keeping it under control and are able to tend to your responsibilities and the like. It’s perfectly ok to use a book or a game as something to relax and distract yourself with because sometimes especially with anxiety we just need a break. It seems to me that you’re doing just fine by tending to your responsibilities and living your life while still enjoying games and such. Hope this helps. ^^
