You ever get off Apex Legends ranked and that bad session is still bothering you? Today, I’m sharing my experience with chasing RP, keeping it together, and how the pressure to improve can start affecting your mood long after you stop playing.

Inspired by Dr. K’s discussion on high-functioning depression, I’m relating those ideas to Apex, coaching, and my own life. Being frustrated with ranked doesn’t mean you have depression, but if you’re consistently getting off miserable, it’s worth talking about.
