I’ve had a real problem Ive only just learned to accept.Â
I had investments and then it got sucked away from social media on trading the markets with CFDs. Probably around 4 years ago.
I saw you could leverage and potentially make more money quicker but then realised I had no idea what to do.
I ended up getting really involved in following people in how to trade and never really understood it properly.Â
Ultimately I’ve blown a lot of money and even used prop firms as a source of addiction. I’ve got a small kid and a wife who don’t know anything and scared of the consequences.Â
I'm fortunate I have parents who want to help me but I feel I can’t stop. Its lead to negativity and depressive feelings.Â
anyone else going through difficulties like this or come out the other side?
Hi
As you have probably realised it's not different to old style gambling. I've never traded but I can strongly suggest you go on you tube and look for the addicted recovery show which is run by Daniel or go to the modern meeting run by Adam Lyons and watch episodes 57 and 58 Daniel Bullen. Daniel was a casino player and got into trading so it's definitely one that will help you.Â
In terms of your family, honesty is the best policy and will take the weight of your shoulders. I'm not telling you that's the thing to do as it's your choice how and when you approach it
