Take one or all of them away and I think I suffer more than most. I'm being diligent. Conventional wisdom says that pursuing perfection right off the bat is a sure path to complete disaster. I agree. But when you've got a mentality like mine, indulgences may as well be pitfalls. So I'm being diligent. Everyone has a voice in their head that is telling them what they truly believe is best for them, what they truly believe is the right choice. I'm following that voice as often as possible. I'm reversing a habit of ignoring that voice. It's not trying to be perfect; it's being yourself. I'm not quite sure why but my own inner voice read this in a highly inspirational manner as my own mentality for the majority of my life has been something along the lines of "perfection or nothing" which has lead to my own depression. hell starcraft was my love for the better part of 5 years of my life, it was my obsession and my passion rivaled only by playing my saxophone, piano, trumpet, or guitar. I blamed SC2 so much for the different feel though I recognized it as a different game and grew to love it anyway BW was and still is the most fun and competitive game that I have ever had the good fortune to play, and it probably will never leave that pedastal. today looking at my past year in the form of 2012, I realize that I fucked so many things up. I attempted to force myself to be perfect in far too many areas, as a result of this I lost so much that made me who I am, or was, I strayed from my passions though i did find a new one in the form of motorcycling though as much as that brings me joy it cannot complete me and fix the flaws that I have been ignoring on the way to reaching my own potential. The three key areas that you mentioned of eating sleeping and exercising properly and consistently I agree are a critical foundation which I myself need as well. probably the most inspirational sentence in the OP would be my new signature "It's not trying to be perfect; it's being yourself."-Tyler Wasieleski. Those are words which one can easily lead a happy and fulfilling life simply by following them Nony, you were always my role model in a way. I never had a sports hero as a kid and generally had no one to look up to. If you believe that staying off of community sites is the best for you then go for it I wish you happiness and success in everything that you do whether it be related to starcraft or not. Sincerily, just another forum poster | ||

It really doesn't matter to me whether you "make it to the top" as multiple people have mentioned. Sure, that'd make me (and you, i'm sure) incredibly happy, but you need to do what works for you, whether it leaves you at the top or not. I've always been a huge fan; I will continue to be a huge fan. I've never suffered from depression, luckily, but I sympathize with you. I hope this new and healthy lifestyle keeps you from enterting a pitfall, and I believe your attitude will help you out also. Seeing as the blog post was your last for a while, I highly doubt you'll ever read this. However, writing it made me feel "good." It might be super corny, but I really do look up to you as a role model. Anyways, I wish you the best of luck in whatever/however you deal with this latest struggle with depression. Just know, you'll always have at least one fan. Karsten | ||

Hopefully your wife is your best friend as she should be and you have the "not alone pact" with her meaning she can make you feel not alone maybe sometimes and you can do the same for her. Maybe you and others in this thread already know but because I don't see it being mentioned by anyone: Stay the hell away from alcohol. At least for me it triggered some mayor ones. | ||

 . Please come back to us sometime, when you are better. I remember watching your phoenix opening when I hadn't yet even bought the game. You are a role model, and one of the people that have reminded me why I do want to study philosophy in college, despite the shit I get for saying that. I wish you luck, do well, and make all of us proud of you  . I for one believe in you. | ||
