I'm here just because i don't know what should i do now.
Everytime i say i want to stop gambling but just stopped for couple months and then i going back to betting again.
I cancelled all my credit card but only i left my PayPal account not to close.Today unfortunately i had used all my credit limit in my PayPal account and in debt - £2500 in my account.
I know i can't afford to pay them back to PalPal.I decide to let them put me in bad credit record.
I got mental health problem now.I feeling quite tired sometimes.Everytime when i lost all money i so scary to tell this to my partner because i promised him so many times already not go to betting again.
I'm very sad because i can't to keep my promise and hurts him everytime.My partner pay off to my debt more then £20,000 before.
Uuu...i just want to cry. My God.
Hello Ericzy,
Well done for taking this step and jointed the Forum. I hope you get a lot of support here from other members.
It might help you to get financial advice in order to sort out the debt with PayPal. You may contact StepChange for example or the National Debtline. They provide free and confidential advice.
You may have promised to your partner that you won’t gamble again but that was an unrealistic expectation as you would need support in order to control your gambling. There are a lot of things you can do to help yourself. Do have a read through the Forum posts to get ideas. You may also call our Helpline or use the Chat to speak to an advisor who can go through some options with you, including arranging counselling.
All the best,
Forum Admin
