Hey guys
Recently I've been experiencing low moods and a lot of anxiety especially starting my poker sessions. I battle with anxiety most days but especially when it comes to starting my sessions. I would also experience the same anxiety when playing the popular MOBA League of Legends ranked games.
I understand that this may seem an odd topic to talk about but I feel talking to others that maybe going through similar issues mostly related to poker in this case would actually help.
A little about myself (certainly not in anyway trying to gloat) I recently graduated university with a degree in geology (rocks, earthquakes, volcano's etc). Prior to this I made a small living playing poker under the screen name CheapBaileys with the usual pipe dream after watching rounders. I have had amazing support from friends and family.
I have been so fortunate in my life so far (30 years old) and do my best not to take anything for granted. And it I guess it only makes sense to question how someone in my position can have reason to feel down and anxious. I don't have an answer to that.
I think that's why I'm reaching out. I was hoping maybe you guys have similar situations or some advice that would help.
The one thing I do know and that I can hang on to for now is that I love poker with a passion(not in an addictive sense), thinking about the good old days of Full Tilt, 2 months 2 million and watching Rounders. They keep me a float.
Sorry for the semi random post.
Thank you so much for taking the time to listen.
Jake
