Im missing my dad. Gambling distracts me from this loss. I watch scary videos, perhaps to get the same excitement as gambling.
Fair enough mate you can also join chatroom 8pm for extra support and u can ask for advise on anything u want ?
Hi Simon,
Thanks for sharing on the forum and I’m really sorry for the loss of your Dad.
Do call the helpline if you need some support on 0808 8020 133, and as Tazman said, the chatrooms can offer further support Group chatroom - GamCare
Sometimes it’s hard to confront the difficult feelings of loss and congratulations that you’ve managed not to gamble during this time. It seems that with your horror movies you are looking for alternative ways to cope. I wonder if you have considered bereavement councelling?  Perhaps take a look at this link: Home - Cruse Bereavement Support.
Do reach out if you need us. We are here to help and support.
All the Best
Jane
