Ilike that and tried it (in order to help me relax trying to get passed the two horse men from hell) Still haven't managed to do it thing ther is a glitch in the game but I feel fine :-)

LOL! that might help you relax, but it definitely wouldn't help you passing any level, lol, will even get worse

BP is right, taking regular breaks when you feel frustrated REALLY helps.

Another thing you can try is killing Lara few times in a row, in purpose. Just let her get killed by some enemy while you sit back and relax watching, or do the swandive from high into a hard surface, or drawn her... Use your imagination

Apart from that... just let your anger out by hitting or kicking something (a pillow, preferably something soft) or break pencils. That helps a lot! Don't use too hard ones because it will be hard to break them and will only make you angrier. You need medium because this will let your energy out while you strain yourself to break it and give you a relief when you feel (and hear) it break in your arms afterwards.

I'm sure you've already tried swearing at Lara, lol, the truth is that this doesn't help much, unless you combine is with one of the above i suppose

In any case, make sure there's nobody around while you're doing these things, LOL

Really, the most effective thing is to have a break (and have a Kit Kat if you want ). If the situation is really bad (for example if you're in The Great Pyramid ) leave everything at least for a DAY...

And if none of these help... go see a counsellor!

I used to get nervous playing TR2 when it came out. I remember when i a giant spider came down from the ceiling in the Temple of Xian (Tr2), i hit Alt+F4 and couldn't face loading up the game again for about 2 weeks Sign of a good game i guess!

LOL, I got so badly frightened by a monster jumping on me during Anniversary that I was shaking afterwards

I do get quite badly stressed when playing, but I think that's a contributing factor to how much I love the game. When I get stuck on a particularly tricky bit, first I start swearing at Lara and calling her names. Then if I'm stuck for a while I start hitting my keyboard (I only ever abuse my keyboard, never my monitor or computer tower like some of my friends do). Then if I'm stuck for a long time I have to exit the game for a while and go back once I've cooled off. Usually at that stage I'll go take a peek at a walkthrough or a help thread to make sure that I'm actually doing it properly.

I stop and do the house work which my kids find funny cos they say I mumble to my self calling Lara names etc. now day ten I’m still not past the horse men from and they keep Freezing Will give it until Tuesday and then I’m going to throw in the towel if I can get past the two hoarse men after 10 day I’ll never manage the other bosses

Don't worry, the horses are VERY frustrating i know, but once you've passed them you can be sure that you won't have problems with other bossess because they are pretty much defeated with the same techniques. Are you sure you're doing the adrenaline dodge correctly? Because that was the main reason i couldn't pass them for ages

Haha, I have the same problem!

Actually, I'm way to stressed to play games like that, but I love the tomb raider series so much that I just couldn't resist buying it

I printed a detailed walkthrough and highlighted where animals will attack me + I watch every level on youtube! I think I'm even worse than you And for killing the the end bosses, I cooperate with my brother, as I can't press all buttons on my keyboard at the same time. And in the middle of the battle, I pause

It's a bit freaky, but I really want to finish this game! (for once)

Good luck!

ok all of your suggestions were working until i was playing with my cousin and 2 gorillias came out of no where and we screamed our heads off LOL
