Alright, so it is 4:51 A.M. as I begin typing this out.

Presently I am battling a cold. And because of said cold, it has affected the way I sleep. I haven't had an ordinary sleep day since last weekend and me going to Hong Kong to broadcast HKeSports' League of Legends segment. I apologize in advance if my whacked-out sleep schedule in combination with my cold affect the broadcast in a negative way. I will also be solo casting from start to finish, so this is already an uphill battle for myself personally.

I guess there is also a part of me that is anxious towards what my own future holds. So many uncertain paths. I no longer work for CM Storm... But I have had offers from other companies here, but some of them are either risky or shady or just have something missing that I don't quite like. Something that just says, "I can't trust these guys."

How do you guys deal with anxiety? I know Tasteless has this problem from time to time.

Tread lightly with employment offers Breaker, I used to live in China, and can definitely appreciate misgivings as a foreigner (even one who speaks as well as you) taking work with less than established Chinese companies. Go with your gut on that one. As someone who suffers with anxiety as well, I think it differs for everyone. personally I tend to quiet down by myself when I can, and tea helps a great deal for me.

My anxiety though, is much more based on really petty things than employment. Did my car get a ticket while I was away? Who is going to be yelling at me via email today? Did I forget some mundane detail that I won't be able to stop thinking about.

I wish you the best of luck with coping, PM if you care to talk some, wish I didn't have to work or I would offer to help with the cast provided it was in English, my Mandarin yuelaiyue shit.

If you don't trust the people you're going to work with, it's normally better to just walk away.

Anxiety comes from thinking too much about the future or the uncertainty of things. Shift your focus to the present moment and you will feel the anxiety disappear.

If you're anxious because the people you may be working with seem shady as fuck it probably just means you should back off. Possible to be anxious for the right reason sometimes.

Usually I'll take a step back, sort through what I know and don't know and take things from there and if there's still doubts then act on them accordingly. Sometimes you'll find you're getting worked up for no reason and that helps me snap out of it, other times I'll be like "fuck, no wonder I felt anxious, this situation is messed up".

One example I have I guess is at work where some guy just didn't look right although his stroke symptoms had fully recovered. Scanned his brain, turns out he had a small bleed.

Are you talking about china companies? Maybe you should talk to rotterdam, he was very often as caster in china, maybe he can help you. I know that 2007-2010 is not the same as 2014.
