Hi Stephen, I have payday too. It is on Wednesday...and even now I am in the height of anxiety of what to pay, what to save, what to do. I wish I had a better relationship with money, but am slowly learning. Take each day as it comes, maybe budget and spend a little on yourself, pay your bills, and give your mam some money to hold onto for you. Have you thought about opening a credit union account. They have no cash cards, so you cannot withdraw money, but are great for saving.
It is a stressful time around payday for a lot of people on here, but rather than struggle, talk about it...

Stephen,
You don't want me to lecture you, so I will not do that. Take a step back and see how far you have come. It is hard finding someone, I have been at it a while now, and am still waiting patiently. Use this time to improve yourself, your life and that will attract someone into it. The bookies is a big lure, especially on days like pay week, but you are not going to hold onto any of the money that you win, so no real point. Give me a shout back if you need anything.

Last post.
Won a lot of money from bets I made in August. Had to collect them . Won , lost , won , lost.
Every time I gamble it's get worse . Maybe not after the first bet but it does led to worse situations .
Done with trying to be friends. Spend too long on my own to be normal.
I'm not feeling angry . Just needed to talk tonight .
Tried gamcare chat but was told not to be too dramatic . What a scummy thing to say to someone .
I'm not gonna kill myself but in my head I'm dead . I won't gamble again. I won't look at getting websites. I just want to pass time and die naturally.
Don't gamble. Get the free counselling if you think you need it . There are certain people to avoid on these kinda sites but you'll figure that out. Take care. Stephen
Sorry Stephen, you have overreacted. The person you are referring to also leaves nice comments see above.
