BurnOut
It’s no secret that I don’t enjoy poker. It’s like taking a psychological beating on a daily basis while applying the precision of a surgeon to a tedious task where everyone is out to get each other.
Lately I just can’t bring myself to play. I’ve taken about a week off and I still would rather poke myself with sharp things than play a hand (Not joking… Vry srs)
I’m taking this as a sign that maybe I need to re-evaluate my decision to endure playing poker as a source of income just for the freedom that it allows.
So I’m taking at least an extended and possibly forever break from the game. I’m moving across the country in October and I’ll have no choice but to find an old fashioned shackle of a job. My health has been improving a lot and as long as I can find a job that doesn’t trigger panic attacks, everything will be cool.

Hi Jess
I can understand where you're coming from here and I think you're making the right choice.
While I have sometimes fluttered with the idea I know I couldn't handle trying to play this game as a pro as there are just too many times I don't want to play so it's now got it's rightful place as a hobby in my world and it may be better as such in yours.
Good luck with your move, health and job search and hope everything turns out great for you.
Keep in touch with us all and let us know how things are going for you
