What could be preventing me from getting up and grinding, So i get up everyday and say im going to grind but i end up just laying in bed all day watching twitch and browsing Instagram for hours all day. I feel like im scared to play and if i do play ill put in a small hour or two session. i mainly play sitngos and im a winning player but i still get extremely stressed out and depressed to be honest. Im so close to making decent money but my mind and body is preventing me from grinding, i just think of how many hours ill have to grind and i just say forget it or ill become to stressed after the first session.


Is it because im lazy and depressed or what could it be. i do suffer from depression. and i dont want to get a job and then ill become even more depressed i think. Should i go on meds to try and fix this i mean should i really be scared and stressed about grinding poker?

This sounds like an issue outside of poker.

Sounds like you are aware of your depression and are thinking about getting treatment for it. I highly encourage you to do so (knowing it's really tough to be proactive about yourself when depressed).

If you want to talk about it relating to poker there is a psychology sub-forum here.

@ anybody in BQ

A good habit to get into whenever you see a post like ops, is quickly dive into their profile and have a quick scan at their posting history.

As a habit it'll help you use time in BQ more productively (as in learn quicker, give better advice, assess posters relative value, etc)

In this case, you'll immediately see op is a serial poster of all sorts of weird stuff...eg

kinda funny in the context of...



@ op, not sure exactly what your problem is, but seeking professional help seems to be something you oughta do.

Just quit all forms of gambling.

maybe get govt benefits instead. that way you can listen to music and watch netflix all day eating potato chips and drinking mountain dew.

How does one sign up for these? That sounds like heaven on Earth.

To be fully honest with you, making this a full time thing sounds like an absolutely awful idea, at least for now. As much as you don't seem to want to get a job, I'd highly recommend getting a 9-5 and then playing a periodic sit and go for fun.

Gambling and depression don't mix.
