I Call it “GIANTISM” The Patriots lost to Manning and Giants TWICE! I went into a tailspin, every game where PAtriots are close I have to turn off, record it, if they will I watch recording! I tell people they do not believe me , I AM SERIOUS! After BARDY threw interception in AFC Champioship game versus Cheifs I had to turn OFF, wait
to hear they won on NEWS then I could watch game. I have NO IDEA what I have, they says “SPORTS DEPRESSION”?

My team has lost 9 straight now. It has been over a week since they have won and I am really really depressed. I’ve been in tears for the last several nights and it seems the Universe is against me. They have four more games to play this year. I really hate to see them end the season with a 13-game losing streak and it has been two weeks since they have won a game. I hate to think I will have to wait six months for them to win another game.

I’ve been struggling heavily with this from the Stanley Cup finals going on right now. the series isn’t even over but the stress of it is building. The series is 2-2 now, if we can win 2 games, it’s ours. I’m struggling though because I am the ONLY one I know who really gives a crap about this, and the only other people I know that care about the Cup absolutely hate my team, in fact I’ve come to find the majority of hockey fans hate my team with a burning passion. So if we lose, these people will jump on me like a pack of dogs on a three legged cat if we lose. Plus a lot of other things in my life are NOT going good at all, and this is the week of my birthday. A Stanley Cup win is really all I was hoping for, and 1. I might not even get that, I’ll just get ridicule and insults from my peers if we lose. 2. even if we win, I’m gonna be in a place at where I can’t watch or listen to the game, so I don’t even get to experience the excitement of the win! So basically I’m fucked

Working at a homeless clinic for A day will certainly take care of sports depression problems, as these people are out, in the streets, with no roof over their families heads, no food for their children to eat, and absolutely no money to get the bare essentials…. Now THAT my friends… is what i call REAL Depression…

Being a panthers fan since day 1, I finally got to see my team in the big game again. And they choke. I was in tears after the game, and just didn’t want to see anybody. It was the perfect season, Cam won the MVP, I thought we had it locked up, but we choked. And now I don’t think we’ll be back for a long time, too. I may just go with my dad and become a Steelers fan.

I am a die hard Gonzaga bulldogs basketball fan and we just lost to BYU by 1. All the cougar fans are gonna be blabn’ about the game. But this advice really helps. They have another game on saturday as well. that should go better. And know I’m thinking about my other teams and how good they are. (Seattle Seahawks and WSU cougar football) just gotta move on to the next game 🙂

Try being a Bengals fan. We had that game over last and then everything fell apart. Every single year. We lose. And yet I’m still surprised and more depressed than ever.

3 Games I have to get over as an Ohioan:
1) The 2015 MLS Cup Final
2) The NBA Finals
3) Almost every Cleveland Browns game

Trying being a fan of the Mn. Vikings ( Vi Queens ) If any of you out there are fans of this pathetic excuse for a team,,, you know what sports fan depression is.

As a die-hard Cleveland fan, that first finals game just destroyed me. I can’t focus on anything. Part of me doesn’t even want to watch the rest of the series.

Can’t believe i’m actually this depressed. The clippers were so close to finally going to the conference finals one game away and they had 2 chances to close out the series. Now we have to go back to Houston for a game 7. My heart can only take so much more. Don’t fall in love with sports, it’s not worth it.

I’ve been looking at these type of sites in the wake of the end of the Super Bowl two days ago. I’ve been in kind of a daze since. I just can’t believe they didn’t run. Not even that big a Seahawk fan..more against the Patriots. Crazy that 1 play, 1 bad decision can swing a personal pendulum to joy/satisfaction/relief to utter devestation/anger/confusion/depression. I can’t get that play out of my head! #!#$

You may not believe, but first two steps might not work at all for a die hard fan. Why? I am a die hard fan, because I cannot zoom out. I am a die hard fan, because I am unsocial. The last one could help, the depressed one should talk to others as much as possible.

It is real. But let me tell you in my case zooming out or filling the void is no option because it is precisely what my team does for me and that is exactly ehy I cant cope and, of course , getting social is no option since I cant stop crying and I can hardly get out of bed. You see, my team achieves what I cant My team keeps me focused on something else and my attention is not on all the things that going wrong in my life. When it loses for me is like I cant even pick the right team. Somehow its my failure too. And for some reason I start panicking about losing also the few things that are going right.
