Dear Thejimreeper

Welcome to our forum and well done for posting about how you are feeling. 

We are sorry to hear that you feel so bad that suicide seems like an option. We would really urge you to contact the HelpLine 0808 8020 133 or NetLine https://www.gamcare.org.uk/get-support/talk-to-us-now/ , both are open from 8am until midnight every day.

It sounds like things have been really difficult for you for a while and we would really like to see what help and support we can offer you.

Let family or friends know what's going on for you. They may be able to offer support and help keep you safe.There's no right or wrong way to talk about suicidal feelings – starting the conversation is what's important.

If you find it difficult to talk to someone you know, you could:

• call your GP – ask for an emergency appointment
• call 111 out of hours – they will help you find the support and help you need
• contact your mental health crisis team – if you have one

You can also consider using the support of the following organisations:-

Honesty is always the best policy with issues like this but please seek advice and help from someone professional in regards to these thoughts as the addiction isn’t worth giving it all up for.

I have given up on gambling again,14 days and counting, and have vowed never ever to go back again. Take each day as it comes and keep your head up and remember all the positive things you have in your life. This will get you through the dark days

hope you get this sorted 

I'm the same as Peter, relapsed many times only on day 11 only but feel so much better

It's hard but my well being is worth so much more

Take each day, it will get better and easier, we are all in this together and are here to chat when we're struggling

Lifes for living, don't let gambling be the end of it

We are all stronger than what we think, the mind does play tricks, but it can be retrained to have a healthy happier life

Good luck x
