I've known this since I was a young boy and Tetris was new.

Knocking out 200 lines is faster acting and more effective for me than Hydroxozine, and I think that pill has done wonders for me for as needed anxiety.

There's a lot of factors. Music. The rhythm and speed of the game. Lower levels let you get in to a relaxing pace, while speed increases over the course of the game force you to become sharper and more attentive on the game.

But I think the solo experience of it is what I like the most. It's me against myself. Old high scores or speed runs. I watched the end of the Tetris World Championships this year, and I'm confident I could make a run at it, but would the competitive atmosphere and head to head play ruin it for me? Would it remove the therapy of the game for me, and actually bring about more anxiety?

While relaxing while playing, I found after a while I was also playing the game in my dreams.

While that would probably help improve at the game, I was thinking I needed to back off and take a break.
