Hey man, I know exactly where you are coming from, when I am down or under a possible break-up with my girlfriend I resort to games, I usually immerse myself in an RPG, tell myself the world I am playing in is real and when I die I go there, and forget the whole 'real' world, heck or even fall in love with a girl from Harvest Moon (At least I'm honest!)
That, and music amongst other things help me through those rough times.
