Discussion on: Where do you go to vent about work? Feel like I have no where to vent and it's not good for my mental health

I think that's what I might have to do. My gaming setup and my work setup is the exact same so lately whenever I sit down to play works on my mind. Might honestly start doing just do a walk around the block to clear my mind.

You should definitely try to do what you can to seperate the two - Otherwise you'll never truly switch off. I'm in the same situation at the moment, and I find the best thing for me to switch to relaxing mode is cooking!

Yeah, sometimes it's hard to separate those activities as you said. Something that could work with that is having different sessions, with different wallpapers, etc. So once you switch to your gaming session you feel like you're really into it and not thinking about work.

But yeah, I'd definitely go with the exercise option. Either a walk, a quick run or just something that moves your thoughts to a different place. I like Kieran's cooking idea!

Good luck mate
