Maybe this issue has nothing to do directly with most of the subjects on this website but I feel it has direct impact on my calmness.

I am a huge sport follower and fan (I follow half the sports that are played on the planet and know what is happening in every single one) But my problem is that I take it personally and daven to Hashem for certain results, I can be awake until very late watching or lying in bed and thinking about tactics, results etc. When my team does lose it really kills me and sets me down. Is there anything I can do regulate my emotions and just like the game/s for entertainment and not take it personal? Or do you think I should just gradually cut down on following sports and slowly let go of all my sports until it doesn’t interest me and affect me?

I also used to be attached to sports (was an avid Packers fan) BH, through Yeshivah since i didn't have time, or anywhere to watch the games I cooled down A LOT. it still bugs me when I hear they loose, but that's the extent of it.

I personally, though not through experience or anything, would assume that the only way out is getting out of it, I guess by narrowing down the specific game, then the specific team, and afterwards trying to cut off.

Just a side question, how do you deal with all the triggers that come with watching the games?

The trigger part is not the problem by me I follow only men sports and I won't watch certain ones live because I know there will be triggers. But there are plenty of sports out there that do not trigger at all.

I can identify alot.

I would think, like all obsessions, the only thing that works is to stop completely.

I am a huge sports fan
however, due to work or learning, I moderate
the rambam says go to the other extreme....this is true...
I don't know the rule, but if you have some semblance of control, doing things in moderation can also work (except of course p and m kinda stuff).
