all i can say is that if you find yourself so affected by this just take a step back and stop watching because to keep watching for fear of missing out is literally a form of self harm. take care of yourself however you need.
what i've been doing to cope is tell myself that things will happen exactly the way they are meant to happen and nothing i or anyone else does can change it. i can only trust george to keep trying his best and understand that whether he wins or loses he is still the man i look up to and admire - losing shows you what people are really made of. winning is easy. winning takes care of itself. what's harder is to keep trying when everything feels like it's turned against you. i have no doubt who george is and what he can do - and he knows what he is made of. losing will not kill him. for his entire career, losing has only made him come back stronger.
this might not be the year he wins. this might be a year for him to learn and come back even stronger. you have to accept that. you have to be comfortable with the knowledge that he might try his hardest and it will still not be enough. that is okay. losing is not the end of the world. what's a failure is to stop trying just for fear of losing again.
i will never lose faith in him because the joy for me is to watch him try when the odds are stacked against him. but i will also be here if he comes close and doesn't win in the end. just like he does, i will try to meet triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors the same.
also - i remind myself he is a white man being paid +30 million pounds to do this shit while i'm sat here and no one is paying me to worry for him. lmfao
