you should go workout at the gym or run. exercising helps a lot in terms of stress relief.

I agree with this. Nothing reduces stress like physical exercise.

Minecraft is not relaxing, its so damn stressful going down into those dark and scary caves o.O damn skelingtongs.

On topic:
If your stressed mate, make sure you get plenty of sleep. With regards to your job just try to take on the extra work you got currently and finish it and just don't go down that road again. Finally, if you are stressed, and I mean really stressed, playing StarCraft is not a good thing to play, because you can make silly decisions in game which causes you to lose which causes you to rage which causes a racing heart which makes everything terrible. Take a break from StarCraft and play something else. Hang with your significant other, is a long weekend coming up? Take a vacation to a beach or something you both really enjoy.


Yeah, I definitely have not been getting a good night's sleep. I get around maybe 6.5 - 7hrs on the weekdays, if I'm lucky.

We've got a regular weekend (our long weekend just passed for 4th of July). Hopefully I can make the most of it.


Try to fix that. My brain doesn't function properly when I get too little sleep i.e. < 8-9 hours every day.

Making this blog post was actually pretty therapeutic. Hooray catharsis!

Yah, TL is great for stuff like that. People on here are generally pretty nice and don't instantly assume stuff about you (Most of the time)
Honestly I find exercise and talking to people I trust helps me deal with stress (Even if its over the phone). If you have any hills/mountains nearby and it usually gets foggy in the morning, I suggest you go up there early and check out the view. Seeing a city in fog is probably one of the coolest things to see anyway.


Oh and watch replays if you want to do something SC related! I find that commentating random replays to myself with ridicious accents, etc is fun
Stop browsing and do whatever it is you're supposed to do. TL will still be here when you get back

I think that you should feel like you can check out of work when its done and not worry about it till the next day. People will notice your working hard at work and it will pay off too so you can look forward to doing well in life. Your young rejoice in the fact that you have time to play starcraft2. smoke weed.
BW pros training sc2 is like kiss making a dub step album.

Rock climbing. Best way to release stress ever. Really, any physical exercise will work as long as you focus all your attention on it. But I've found rock climbing to be the best for it.

As for SC2, play for fun. Try some funday monday builds or play some casual 2v2/3v3.

And finally, as for work...spend a week focusing on the two most important things about your job. And don't worry about anything else.
