I got some money by selling something and then had a lucky streak from ВЈ30. Managed to give my girlfriend ВЈ205, spent ВЈ135 in Primark on bits for myself, my girlfriend and her daughter, got bits for her house and did a little food shop.. long story short I lost ВЈ190 then took back ВЈ130 I gave her then another ВЈ40 from her so I lost £360 and I lost my temper and put a hole in a door and we've been arguing and I think she's going to leave me soon. I don't think I can be happy without money and I can't stop gambling and I literally just want to disappear right now. I don't have it in me to harm myself but if I had the choice to just disappear then I would. Hate myself and my girlfriend does too.

Hi Onepunchjamoo
It's worrying that you feel so down and that you've lost your temper and damaged something as you feared you might. It does sound as though you need some support to help you stop gambling, and with anger management too. I can imagine the whole thing must have been quite scary for your girlfriend. We mentioned our counselling to you before - if you haven't already, please contact our helpline on 0808 8020 133 or chat to us on the NetLine.
