I feel ya.
I know what you mean. I have dealing with anxiety for over ten years now, and it does suck. And the meds sometimes make it worse. I had a couple good years, but then it started up again. I always take my medicine before a big tourney or match. Just helps to calm the nerves a little. But I know how crippling it can be. It has cost me some money and tourneys in the past. Hope you get better with it. Keep on stroking!

keep on keepin' on !
sorry you choked . Happens .
The psychological game is the most important part of anyone's game . I tell players over and over that no matter how good their physical qualities are , the mental component of their game must be solid too.
The only real way to gain this confidence is to get out and play , play , play.
Play anyone , anywhere , anytime , under any circumstance ( but not for ANYTHING- that will come much , much later). Don't worry about losing , because that's going to happen - a lot ! But the more you play , the more natural it will feel every time you pick up a cue . Your team did something right to get in the playoffs , didn't they ? Keep doing it !

Look guys, all you have to do is think about something else more stressful than playing pool in the playoffs....like how much more stressful it would be to have your balls squeezed tightly in a vice...or open heart surgery with a butter knife....like getting a divorce for example, then the pressure of playing in the playoffs won't be so bad:killingme::rotflmao1:
