Raider's Nation - If you are reading this post, you are probably feeling what I am right now: completely broken.
I'll be honest, I've watched some games this season where I felt like I was verge of crying from the sheer incompetence and disappointment. But this game? It didn't just disappoint me, it completely broken me. I am mentally and emotionally drained, and I know that I'm not the only one.
This isn't just "being a fan" anymore; it's self-harm. You cannot keep pouring your time, energy, and emotional well-being into something that gives you nothing but stress.For the sake of your mental health, I beg you to take a long, extended break from watching this team. Unfollow the accounts, enjoy your Sundays, and let your mind heal.
This is where our mental health comes first: For the sake of your own well-being, you have to prioritize yourself. If watching this team is costing you your peace, it's time to step away.I'm already broken, so I might not even watch every game for the rest of this season. It's not worth sacrificing your mental health for an outcome that will likely be the same.
This is my plea to everyone feeling this way: Take a long, overdue break. Unplug, find a better way to spend your Sunday, and heal the emotional wounds this team is inflicting. You are not a bad fan for prioritizing your mind over this franchise. Stop letting this team torment you.
