Anyone else view thier fish keeping as therapy?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
No need to disclose my illness, as it's not life threatening, thankfully, but I suffer nonetheless. I view my fish keeping as a kind of therapy as when I am taking care of my fish, or talking about fish (like on this site) all my problems seem to melt away.

Anyone else view thier fish keeping this way.

But don't get me wrong it's fun too. :)
 
I don't have an illness, but looking and caring for my fish is a huge stress reliever. Glad it helps you out man.
 
I can relate. Whenever I'm thinking about fish or working on my fish nothing else matters. It's definitely relaxing. I think it helps lower my blood pressure too!!! :D

If by therapy you mean it keeps me from choking out stupid people then yes. It's a immensely calming hobby for me

Therapeutic as in keeping me from worrying about what to do with all the extra money in the savings account.

Seriously, just going through the normal daily and weekly maintenance lets me zone out from the garbage I put up with at work.
 
Oh yeah it for sure helps ease me to watch my fish, no matter how aggressive they are.. I'm not too sensitive about chasing and such
