I just had the scarist 5-10 mins off my life i am just trying to make sense of it all how and why just earlier today someone was talking to me about making investments and trying to sell me a course which i clearly stated i am a gambling addict and it better for me to refrain from anything gambling related about 30 mins later i had a small thought of buying something and my mind turn towards gambling and my brain quickly responded to i am a gambling addict why has this even entered my brain then suddently i fell an emotion which i felt when i was gambling that heavy pain around chest area and my heart started raceing at this point i felt scared and realised it was that conversation which happened earlier which escalated this i came back to my senses and the urgue just vanished has any else experienced anything like this my large urgue which was over 6 months ago lasted longer but never was this intense it scared the hell out offÂ
Sounds like a panic attack. I had similar experience and went to hospital because my chest hurt and I could barely breathe but I calmed down eventually.
I had a minor one couple of weeks ago about my future and my ability to stay gamble free.
There doesn't seem to be any reason to the severity. I can barely be thinking about anything and get a tight feeling in chest.
I don't know what to do about them. Other than to realise it will pass like the urge itself.
