It depends on how bad you will get anxiety some people can't control no matter if they know how or not like me very much I'll get it so bad there's no controlling it
That's not entirely true about not sleeping Steve you probably just got chronic background to keep hurting it lack of sleep might can play a small small part in it but you can still recover without sleeping you still need to sleep but you don't need to get that much sleep my playing days I was recovering on about 3-4 hours of sleep with anxiety is not fun
Just for clarification, cause the whole Drouin thing is a big headache here in MTL .. literally, one week after RDS called him out for his crappy play, dude, left the team. He's a BABY .. has been coddled by the org cause that trade was a marketing DISASTER. JoJo doesn't suffer from numbing anxiety I know ppl that do – he's just a fkn BABY.

Hope he’s better and the leafs beat the habs
Kevin Lowe scored the first goal for the Oilers in inaugural season in 1979.
Yeah, and what happened to Tavares? Last I saw him in game one he was all over the ice. …….then never saw him again. Weird.
A Quebec born player having anxiety playing in Montreal? He wouldn't have much anxiety playing in Phoenix or Miami i figure.
Fantom is the next Ethereum
I'm nearly 50 and a lifelong insomniac. It's agony after a few days with zero sleep. After a week the hallucinations don't stop and feelings of insanity kick in. Trust me on this. There's a reason that sleep deprivation is listed in the Geneva Codes on Torture.
Yes Taylor Hall wore number 4 when he was an Oiler
Kevin lowe was the rock with the Oilers… the guy was a leader… sure he didn't score but he was presence… the guy ppl would rally around… won with Gretzky's and twice without Gretzky… okay leads fans beat that… he is a all of fame and u guys are just YouTube guys…
Sorry but as soon as anxiety became an easy word to throw around everyone had it. There are people who really do suffer from anxiety and even shifting their mindset doesn’t help. Then there is the majority of people who really just can’t hold themselves accountable and want to be babied and spoon fed. I believe Drouin falls on the latter side.
When I was a kid my dad said… "when you grow up you can stay up as long as you like"… Fast forward to me being "grown up" and I hate his quote every day as I'd rather go to sleep than have to go to my "shithole" of a job… Lol… As for actual sleep… It's difficult, but still can at least go to sleep-ish…
I am a college student trying to fall asleep at 2 am. They nailed my situation right in the head
Kevin Lowe:
Was the first NHL draft pick of the Oilers.
Scored the Oilers' first NHL goal.
Won 5 Stanley cups with the Oilers & 1 with the Rangers (ex-Oilers core)
Was an Assistant Coach, then Head Coach of the Oilers.
Was GM, then EVP and GM, then President of Hockey Ops of the Oilers
Has played the most regular season and playoff games as an Oiler
Was a 7-time All-Star, and was awarded the King Clancy Memorial Trophy
Is in the Hockey Hall of Fame and named to the Order of Hockey in Canada
He deserves to have his number retired, and there really isn't that much pushback in Edmonton. The Booing if any in Edmonton is for his "first-class" vs "second-class" fan comment.
