Hi Indigo10,
Welcome to the GamCare Forum and for sharing your post.
I am sorry you are going through a really tough time at the moment, you are not alone in the way gambling can occupy daily lives for people. There is plenty of support available to you and you have made a really positive step today by posting your story.
Please feel free to contact the GamCare Helpline on 0808 8020 133 or Netline to explore the additional support available to you. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if you would like to talk to one of the GamCare HelpLine advisers.
I would encourage you to make an appointment with your GP surrounding your extended periods of stress and any other feelings you may be experiencing due to gambling.
Could I also give the details for some organisations that can offer some free debt advice.
