All I just want to add to here is that my heart really goes out to everyone out there who is facing these difficulties because I can easily see how it is so easy to get addicted 🙁

I don't suppose you need telling to stop this now but if you don't things can and will get worse. That is a 100% certain outcome.
Put the losses behind you. You won't win them back. Self exclude from your accounts, install blockers, come clean to your family. It's much harder to gamble secretly when people know you have a problem. Ask your parents to control your finances for you.
You are young and have plenty of time to put the madness behind you and move on. Make your mind up to do it now before your life turns a real nightmare.
That really means a lot to read and I mentioned to someone else earlier that they're young and have plenty of time but you confirming this about me has just made me feel a whole lot better. Gambling is a cruel and horrible addiction and I just wish I wasn't in this mess but then again so is everyone else on this forum 🙁
