Hey Matthew
We can all recover from this. You lost 10k which is a lot of money but trust me, you can put this behind you, you've got your whole life ahead of you. Luckily you've found you have an issue with gambling early in life, lots of time to do something about it. Keep positive and the rest will work out.
Thank you Tom, that means a lot to me right now
I lost 10s of thousands over the years, but gambled to purposely lose, lost respect of friends family etc.
Started cutting, last gambling session i had , cut my arm to shreds afterwards.
But its a escape and coping mechnasim.
Have to say i agree with the above. The suicidal and dark thoughts are brutal
Affected by gambling?
Looking for support?
