Chess makes me depressed (serious post) I Need Help

I don't know if you know this, but, this thread is 6 years old and has been bumped many, many times throughout time.

It has now become a troll thread, as a few of us believe that the OP is trolling.

I believe the conclusion was drawn that he was trolling was based off of his activity, the threads he was creating.

Hi,

I really hate chess. Sometimes I think Isee improvement andmy rating rise, to just see it fall again. Every stupid blitz loss I take very personal.

Why do I keep on playing chess I don't know. I really hate chess in a way that a heroin user might hate heroin I assume (not sure never been hooked on heroin).

Let me explain this, every day I feel the urge to play blitz chess on the internet (not always on chess.com, other sites too). My typical day is that i feel reasonably happy, feel like playing some blitz chess, lose some stupid games and feel depressed. it's a circle I cannot get out of!

I don't like chess, I am spending too much time on it for rarely any reward, all I get is pain.

Also I don't like the grumpy and hostile person I become, always berating and insulting my opponent, I am otherwise a nice guy, but internet blitz brings the worse in me.

I think I have a Problem.

But there is no help, no help atall for a problem like this, at least on poker sites I think they have lines you can call for addiction, nothing like that for chess.

I hate my life because of chess.

I hope somebody here can help me.

My life is a hell!

Chess holds its master in its own bonds, shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom of the very strongest must suffer. - Albert Einstein

Once I accepted that winning about half my games is not too bad I started enjoying it more. I look at losses as free lessons and wins as free lessons that are more fun. You win 4, lose 5, win 4 lose 3 win 5 lose 2... etc. Do some puzzles daily and enjoy the wins and look thru the losses for moves you should have made but didn't. Unless you are planning to make a living at chess it's just a fun game to play. 

What you believe is irrelevant and same goes for your conclusion. Of course what OP wrote is not something this site employ's want to see since it is all about money so of course best to call him a troll  or just to say how the topic is old so it should be close. That is utter stupidity. How old some topic is does not matter if what is discussed in it is still relevant.

Even though OP sounds like a pathetic troll OP  that does not matter since what he wrote is true.  Chess is just a waste of time with a huge  bad effect on people health. And the answer to is simple. Stop playing chess.

It's almost impossible to make a living at Chess.

Seems only IMs and GMs can do it.

So I heard.

And I even don't think that it is worth to follow this way unless you are an exra-ordinary Chess player... or unless Chess is the thing you can't live without.

chess is a game and there's no need to make a living out of it.(unless u want to)
