But man it truly is the lowest of lows when the tough L happens on the field or in life. I wish I never got involved into sports because i obviously become too emotionally invested in this stuff. 2025 has been an awful year for me. I’ve already lost a pet and my neighbor died unexpectedly last week. My Chiefs getting their ass kicked as they looked devastated on the sideline wasn’t something that was helping an already shitty new year
I’ve stayed off all social media and sports talk because I just can’t handle the negativity right now. And combine all that with maybe losing one of my favorite players ever?
Yeah it’s been a rough week to say the least. Make fun of me if you want but some of us can’t help how we feel. You’re not alone OP
Edit: also I’m kind of in a place right now where I don’t have a lot going on. It would be easier if there was something for me to dive headfirst into as a distraction

For me, it was just the Chiefs obsession masking all the issues I had going on in my life. I actually woke up pretty depressed on Super Bowl Sunday, which was a very odd feeling. Why would I be feeling this way? But that's the thing with obsessions sometimes, they become your entire world and you rely on them so much to keep you happy that when they're gone, or in this case the season ended, you sorta "wake up" to your situation and think "what the hell am I doing with my life, man?"
Side note, I have a pretty one-track mind, meaning it's easy for me to hyper fixate on one particular interest and that just becomes my entire world for a while. Obviously not very helpful when that thing is outright negatively affecting your life.
Since then, I've focused on the essentials and just living better in general, and I'm almost grateful the season is over. It's like a relief, I can breathe again. Like others have said, you can just relax and focus on other things you were neglecting.
