Sometimes I feel really sad after a tv drama or anime series. I wouldn't describe it as depressed, but it definitely can make me more irritable or mopey. It doesn't take long to go away, just some distractions for the day (sport is great) and a good night's sleep.

It's much more enjoyable when you get emotionally attached to something, but at the same time don't let it drag you down :D (for too long).
No I'm never serious.

ROFL I'm having a complete opposite situation! I was so happy seeing Stork win that my day just went so awesome!

Sorry if this makes you feel even worse.

And it's ok to feel a connection to your favorite progamer, just don't overreact.
<Wolfpox> i remember when MVP beat that one guy, and everyone was like 'whoa' except that penguin dude.

It's worse when you actually have to see these guys losing in person. I've had to offer words of support to several pro-gamers in the past after events (Khan at the PL finals last year, FBH during the prelims etc.) But when you see them you realise - actually they can be smiling five minutes after they've lost a game and they always come to the next event with their motivation restored. Sure, it can be saddening at the time to see your favourite players losing, but for them it isn't the end of the world. So you shouldn't let it affect you too adversely either.

Yea, I got pretty emo this morning after checking the results. Other stuff in my life aren't exactly going the best either so it was like adding salt to the injury.

However, I just hope BeSt won't slump like Pusan did after losing to Boxer in the So1 semi-finals (he did right? not sure about this). Always hope for the better and take losses positively. I've learned that the most important thing is never to give up; always keep a positive mind-set.

Goddamn, son - there are LOTS more things to be seriously depressed about. If you want to take your mind off of starcraft, just spend a few days reading the Economist or something. Guaranteed you'll be utterly, soul-crushingly depressed about the future instead of about starcraft.


Read the Economist, that's a good one. I think it's a fantastic read but I guess it is sort of depressing reading about current news. We're so screwed .

Anyway you can't let something this silly depress you. You're allowed to be disappointed but don't get upset. Nothing you could've done would've changed the outcome.
