How do I deal with ladder anxiety?

[john storkton]

Everytime I want to play a comp game or even think that I want to, my whole body starts to seize up and my nerves keep getting to me.
I tried allowing myself to fail, not caring about my elo, becoming more confident in my aim, but I keep having these reactions everytime I try to play comp.
Am I missing something? I really need help, I have had nothing but positive experiences in comp in MG1 and I really want to play more without this happening

not meant to sound harsh, but shouldnt you contact some kind of doctor for such things, instead of posting here

I talked about this with my sports psychologist I have for tennis, and we even did stress tests but she said it was normal. Perhaps I'm making it sound harsher than it actually is

maybe you need to find mates, that are open for such problems, and that maybe got experience to help you

just a thought ofc

it is not a ladder it is a ranking system.
that means you just play on your skill level.

I know, but I use the term "ladder anxiety" as I feel that more people understand what that is

and also, i wouldnt care that much about some picture in a videogame, start enjoying playing with friends, and the stress will be less over the time

Back in 1.6 I used to get massive adrenaline dumps for league and tournament matches, but never for practice matches(unless against a rival). For some reason it just stopped happening when I moved to CSS, and then I quite league/tourny/lan events xD

Sounds like you have an anxiety about a part of the competetiv csgo. Is it the 'talking' part or the pressure? I mean in tennis, when you lose than only for youself. Thats different to a team game

Down playing problems isnt the best idea

I'm not exactly sure about which part it is, just even thinking about playing competitive gets me nervous

if everything fails you should play drunk a few times.

Try really hard to keep calm, maybe even play with bots and try to keep being really calm.
Keep a good balanced breathing rythm too.
