Okay lets break this all down because people still don't get it.
1)Yes I have two dogs a terrier and a staffie, I love them dearly, we don't go out walks but have two large back gardens for them to play in and they run each other ragged up and down the stairs (I am just not up to walking even myself let alone my dogs)
2)Remember I spent 20 years making sure Paola had the best entertainment systems, we have an Xbox one X. with gamepass and ultimate edition Forza Horizons 4 two controllers connected to a 4k 55" TV and both me and Paola used to play it together, I can't even turn it on now, the last car Paola drove was an old Jag and its still sitting there, I can't even touch that console without shaking and falling apart.
3)I have a Playstation 4, we were slowly playing through persona 5 together, I can't turn that on either.
4)We have a Raspberry Pi 3+B setup for Megadrive, Amiga, Master System and Original Space invaders hooked into a 47" TV, you guessed it, every time I even think of turning it on I start crying.
5)297 TV series (all owned and paid for transferred to HD) from original series Flash gordon, space 1999, Black Books, Black adder, Red Dwarf, Dr Who (old series), AutoMan, Streethawk, Airwolf..
6)4700 B movies from the 50's to the 90's mostly Science fiction or horror also every single newer movie from Hobbit to Infinity wars to Dead pool 2 and Solo
7)Virtual Reality, Oculus Rift with 3 sensors for room scale hooked into a 4690k 1070 system, HTC Vive Pro hooked into a 6700k EVGA 1080ti system.
7)Dual steam clients with over 1,200 games between them.
Those even suggesting I get out have absolutely no clue of my situation, let me put in perspective, when I put my situation in detail to both Samaritans psyche evaluation and the therapist I have been assigned, no one has any answers, ADHD+Schizotypal+grief+bowel cancer+no family+no close friends+no children puts you in a dark place you may never get out of and if I do it will be through a monumental battle of will with myself every day for the rest of my life and for what?.
As I said what would really help is a few friends, come over once a week once I'm feeling better, we can watch movies, we can VR we can play Forza, I will even provide food and drink and once the weather gets a little better BBQ is on the cards, you will find me a pretty cool host.
That is what is missing, I need to restart using all this entertainment equipment for the reason it was meant for, I want to watch people playing superhot and falling on there ass, I want to look ridiculous fighting off zombies.
But I don't want to do it alone.
Do not tell me that staying in and gaming is unhealthy that is pseudo healthline ******** lack of friends lack of company THAT is unhealthy, but how does someone like me find people willing to pop over for a blast, that's the issue.
Its icy outside, I can't chance going for walks outside, if I fell over and pulled the wound or damaged the colon it would be REALLY bad, for the next 8 weeks I am not allowed to lift anything beyond an 4lb shopping bag.
So gaming and VR, (I just updated my SkyrimVR) Natural locomotion software walking/jogging on the spot and exploring Skyrim, is actually really good exercise.
