Hi everyone I am new here and looking for some support, I’m too nervous at the moment about speaking to anyone over the phone so I wanted to share here how horrible things has got.
Sunday I was up and today I am in the minus, I just do not know how to stop chasing my losses and now I feel absolutely exhausted, frustrated, anxious and like a failure.
i am a mother of 2 small children, my relationship is almost non existent and my father died suddenly recently, I suffer with anxiety and depression and I just feel like this is my only ‘escape’ from life, it’s my me time, I get such a buzz with winning then I treat myself to nice things and play more slots whilst increasing the bet value until next thing I know it’s all gone. I am just going round it circles and I am absolutely exhausted, it’s taking over my life.
sorry for the essay I just want to know how others feel and how they are seeking help, I feel statistics of losing and like a breakdown of how it’s near impossible to make money would help me to understand gambling is not the answer.
thanks guysÂ
