Today, my anxiety got so bad that when I stole a sword in Skyrim and resisted arrest, I had a full-on panic attack as I ran away. I ended up curling up on the sofa as my character got hacked to death on the TV. FML

It's all fun and games until they spot you stealing their swords!

I got caught stealing once, resisted arrest and got a "warrant" so every time I went to towns everyone attacked me. I eventually got so frustrated I never played again.

OP, its a game... suck it up, grow some and move the hell on. If you freak at a game your going to fail hard in life. Best of luck!

Hey, man. Some games are stressful. Especially high difficulty and/or horror/scary/thriller games.

You were not cut out for the adrenaline rush that is the life of crime. Perhaps picking potatoes shall capture your tiny heart.
