Due to stress and anxiety I have:
> poor blood circulation
> muscle and joint pain
> heartburn and stomach pain
> red skin spots on the face
But I still keep playing League of Legend which ofc increases my stress level a lot
Why am i so stupid and dont quit it?
Other urls found in this thread:
You've fallen prey to sunk cost syndrome. You've devoted so much time and energy into the game that your subconscious is unwilling to accept the fact that it's shit and not worth playing.
How old are you and why are you so stressed?
At least you have the money to do that. I have heartburn, migraines, and depression, and I'm almost out of money. If anyone should be hanging themselves, it's me. I'll probably lose my home next month.
Did you quit your job and then do nothing? I've done that a few times.
sounds like you're just fat
It sounds like you need to switch to a game that can take up hundreds of hours of your time and is relaxing in shooting catharsis.
That's why Dr.user prescribes Warframe.
You already know it's escapism. Turning off your brain is easier than making it switch gears into learning, activity or productivity mode. Hundreds of millions of people do it and you shouldn't feel bad or guilty about it, but know its behaviour you can completely turn around in a month or so. Read The War of Art by Steven Pressfield, helped me a lot even though I don't love the guys writing style
>Why am i so stupid and dont quit it?
Because you're afraid of trying other games so you stick to this one
Stop playing team-based games, especially if you have no one to play with, it only brings frustration
I got fired in August, and then went back to college. I've been going to school ever since, and have been fighting for unemployment the past few months. The state finally gave up, stopped trying to ride me out, and eventually agreed that I was fired for no good reason.
They're still not making my previous employer pay it out though, as I'm getting money from the one that paid me peanuts. So for now I'm only making around $80 a week. It will go up to about $300 in January if I can wait it out.
>The war of art
Not him, but tell me about this. What's the book about? I want off Mr. Bones' Wild Ride.
But the game is fun a actually. It would more fun if I didnt stress out so much of course.
31. I don't know. I've always had an anxiety. I even started taking ad pills 1,5 years ago because my headache was very severe when i was at work.
Not OP but I'll check it out, thanks
He pretty much outlines all the forms of discipline you need to apply to overcome the feeling of resistance or sometimes lethargy you get when you're considering to pursue productive activities. It tries to explain how harmful rationalizing bad decisions can be and really put into perspective for me just how much time I wasted everyday. It does sort of assume you have something you've been putting off that you should be doing (art/creativity mainly) and for some people there's nothing there making the journey a bit harder. Theres a free pdf of it online so give it a chance even if his writing can be jarring at times
You should work out. You'll still be stressed and anxious, but it will help with those other things. That way you can just hide it inside like everyone else.
Actually i have tried many games not quite long ago. And i can tell they all are shit. I even sold my video card because of that
I dont have a videocard to play such games. And even if had it would still stress me out
I dont feel guity that i play this game to waste my time. I feel guilty and it ruins my health and keep playing
I think I should read it, because I've been stuck in a rut lately. I don't even study Japanese anymore. I don't do anything besides attend classes, lift weights, and play vidya. I do feel a sense of lethargy
What do you even get out of playing that shit?
As long as you've finished a match at least once with every character, you've already 100%' the game, and i bet you already did it
So why are you still playing it?
Explain further, where do you live, what do you do?
okay i did this but now my joints fucked up and doctor says i need to stop, same with running/cardio. yes im really skinny to begin with so that fucked me up instead of automatically being athletic/fit/strong before i even went to the gym. it seems like the gym isnt for those who want to start unless you're just fat and use a treadmill, but only for those already strong
I cant work out anymore because of muscle pain. I tried.
I guess I like winning over other people. I mean i am a shy guy with low self esteem in real live who achieved nothing and when i am winning i become very happy. But when i am loosing i really want to cry or kill myself. Well not anymore, since i am taking my pill. But only a year ago were screaming and beating my table when i loosing
Illinois. I WAS a security guard, before I got fired. Now I'm working towards a TESOL certificate. I want to get into ESL again. I did that 2 years ago.
>people on Sup Forums actually play league
christ
23 and have anxiety attacks and depression complained with being intensely lonely in the most densely populated city in America because I have no friends.
You need to change what you do or else nothing will happen. Lift, drink water, stop playing LoL, it's a shit game anyway. Distract yourself with shit to do that's physical. Do mindfulness meditation.
>Inb4 lol that won't work
Then enjoy doing the same thing every day thinking something will magically change
Took long enough for the obligatory contrarian to crawl out of the woodwork.
Start with watching this and do the opposite of what it says
>Tfw actor because that's the only thing I'm even a little good at
I'll read that, thanks
>Switch
Doesn't that basically encourage you to go outside? At least more so than PS4 and One?
League feels like it was carefully designed to maximize potential salt.
I've never seen a game with so many frustrated fans who never stop hating the game but keep playing it anyway.
Something about the longish matches, competitive grinding gameplay and easily lost matches due to dumb players is the perfect recipe for rage.
Option A: keep doing what you're doing
Option B: change
Unfortunately for most humans it takes a lot of pain for them to want to change and even then most don't. Sounds like you're getting close though.
>ASSFAGGOTS
Play better games
That whole post is dumb and wrong. Look up what the correct form is for each excersize. Doesn't matter what the fuck you look like, eat right, get on a lifting routine, the gym is for everyone. Start light. I'm weak as SHIT. No one cares. EVERYONE there is there because they're scared and depressed like you.
Why i have the feeling of my heart could stop in any moment
What physical thing can i do when you live in a small apartments in Russia with your mom and you cant go outside because its -15 there. I walk my cat almost every day for a half of hour but that's it
too many cheeseborger
Did you mean to reply to me?
Have roommates? Don't try to live alone, it's too expensive. Do you like that line of work? Got parents you can visit and trust? Need as much info that won't identfy you as possible
Addiction of dopamine release when you win a match.
Cheeese
But im skinny
I have circulation and joint problems. I'm also anxiety prone I had no idea it can cause these issues. Now I'm mildly frightened I fucked up.
Well user, the truth is, I do live with my mother at the moment. I guess I like teaching English. I like it better than sitting in a cubical all day, or staying up until 6 am and waking up at 2 pm. We're underwater, in debt because even when I had income, we still needed credit to survive. My mother's income and mine weren't enough. It's even worse now that I'm unemployed. I need a job that can reasonably pay off the debt, while allowing me to attend to school. The problem is, most everything offered this days is like, 60 to 80 hours with minimal pay. So I could either give up on school, get a Mcjob, or continue with school and possibly run out of money before I get the certificate (in the summer, by next fall at the very latest).
sounds like you should get in shape, that would fix most of your problems

How do you stop thinking about stressful things?
being skinny or fat has nothing to do with how shit your heart and blood has become
get on that treadmill m8, strengthen your heart
Exercise and get another hobby motherfucker. Taking your mind off and doing something other than sitting in front of a computer would probably help you. Lifting weights, swimming, running, hiking, biking just something that gets you moving. I'm still a fat fuck but I feel better.
this but with WoW
My one goal in life is to fuck a pony and that's what keeps me alive (technology)
dont play league of legends dude cmon
You have no willpower.
It's okay, I don't either, OP.
Lifting free weights and stationary bike are cheapest and easiest to start with in that scenario.
By doing productive things and understanding how good it feels to see and feel results.
>heartburn
>love spicy/acidic food
>have heartburn
Fuck this shit.
kys imo.
Did you read op post? I cant lift and using excersice bike of muscle pain.
> biking
I actually like biking but i sold my bike because i was scared biking alone due to social anxiety. Constantly having thought that people judged me :(
>muscle pain
What even is that? Unless you have some very specific joint or muscle disorder it sounds like nonsense. If you've spent your entire life without physical activity then of course working out is going to hurt. Your joints and muscles have wasted away from decades of not doing shit. Bikes and elliptical machines are exactly what people with poor joints use because they are extremely low impact workouts.
If you actually have some bizarre disorder that makes your otherwise functional entire body hurt like hell then that really does suck. But 99% of the time when people complain that they "can't work out" it's because they're not willing to work through the pain of the first few weeks and retreat to their nests for ice cream and netflix therapy.
>Constantly having thought that people judged me
They won't stop just because you're on foot now. You have to learn to deal with it.
>you cant go outside because its -15 there
what are you, some kind of pussy? this is is why russia will never beat america in a war
You sound like its easy as fuck. Its not. Eventually its getting so bad that you develop severe ocd where you cant even to listen ti some songs or do some stuff because you are scared somwting bad will happed if you do that
>walk my cat
how does that even work? Also do calisthenics.
Fuck, i hope you will find a way. Really.
Im stuck with my mom while going to college (wich is not going well this semester) but i cant get a side job because i have back problems and also a crippling depression. Money wise its tight but it could be worse. I just want to get the fuck out of my home because i cant stand my mom anymore and im getting older but that would mean to get a miserable job and i cant even work in a mcdonald because of my back.
Also i tend to become more and more lonely and i was known to be cheerful but now i barely smile anymore...
We dont even need to. Ameruca will fall apart by itself. Because of animetards, niggers, lgbt and feminists
This what Sup Forums has done to you
>due to stress and anxiety
you mean due to the fact you're fat and have poor hygiene
Didnt know 4chin could fuck up your back.
Pushups, sit-ups/crunches, squats, squat-thrusts, burpees, stretching.
If you've got one of those door-frame pull-up bars, can do that too.
Can jump-rope if you jump like a ninja and land on your feet silently to avoid bothering upstairs/downstairs/nextdoor neighbors.
