Accepting the losses and forget is something that we must do and never return for playing gambling for a while. But for most people, they will not stop from playing gambling instead will keep playing gambling because they think that they can win in the next days. Well, that is okay because that will depends on their decision and they must accept whatever that may happen to them. People tend difficult to stop gambling when they already losses but they will think to keep playing gambling and recover their losses.

That can make them lose more and more money especially if they lose control over themselves. They can face another problem if they keep playing gambling because they don't know if that can makes their lives ruins.

We all know how it feels to lose money in gambling. It is one of the worst feelings we encounter, which makes us stressed and can lead to feelings of self-guilt. But sometimes we overstretch ourselves and gamble beyond our means. I have seen people even take loans to gamble and get sucked into an endless loop of stress, anxiety, and isolation.
If you have just encountered a big loss which is making you sick to the stomach, do not worry. Here are five things you can do to find peace and divert your energy to some inspiring things:

1. Accept the loss: Do not try to suppress the feelings; do not lie to yourself. You have made a mistake by gambling beyond your means, now accept it. We all make mistakes in our life. Most importantly, express the feelings: Weep if you want to weep, shout in a closed room if you want to shout, just do not harm yourself or others in the process, as it will only make things worse. Expressing your emotions is the first step towards getting out of this situation, and believe me, things are only going to get better from here. If you have expressed yourself, you have already made great progress.
Suppressing emotions will cause serious trouble to your psyche, which can lead to depression and delusions. If you do not accept your loss and mistake, you will only strengthen your unconscious to again take higher risks. In case you are wondering why your mind is still thinking of arranging more money somehow (taking loans/selling stuff, stealing, etc.), it is because of an innate human tendency of loss aversion.

2. Tell someone: You have to have at least one person in your life (the more the better) to whom you can share your feelings and let them know about your situation. It will help a lot because if you continue to live in isolation with that feeling, trust me, you will not be capable of taking care of yourself. There is no shame in taking help in these matters; instead, it is a sign of great courage to honestly tell someone how you are feeling.

3. Socialize more, go out, play outdoor games, go on a hike with friends for a few days: You need an immediate shift of your focus from gambling, and going out, playing games, etc., are good options to do that. It will also shorten your screen time, which must be zero for at least 2-3 days.

4. Take professional help: There are many government as well as non-government organizations who can help you a lot if you are still panicking and nothing is working for you. Especially if, even after a few days, your sleeping and eating patterns are not normalizing. They will help you cope with anxiety and pursue some positive change in your life.

5. This last advice is a bit philosophical. Your existence in itself is a miracle, and on top of it, you as a living, conscious human being have survived against odds much higher than any lottery. Therefore, you are a winner already in life, no matter what these are—petty things (money lost in some game)—and you surely have the capacity to overcome this. Even if you do not believe in yourself right now, your existence is the undeniable proof of your potential.

You are right when it comes to gambling, trying to fight back and revenge your losses often doesn't turn out good like you expect it to rather it turns out badly most times. It's possible to get lucky while trying to forcefully regain your losses back the odds are quite thin and it isn't worth it. As a responsible gambler, you should have your personal norms and habits that keeps your gambling habits in good condition.

When you try to fight back your losses you end up often staking unreasonably and with negative emotions too. All these can often contribute to you losing or rather bad luck as people often refer to it.

We all know that there are different rules that should help us cope with defeat, but in fact, only time heals. After a big loss, you should not try to win back immediately, everyone knows this rule, but it is one thing to know about it and quite another to adhere to it. First of all, of course, it would be worth eliminating the possibility of a big loss, but if it still happened, then take a break and think about how to prevent this from happening in the future.

Depression is a common problem among gamblers. There are many who gamble beyond their ability. At one point, when they lose, their emotions are so broken that they cannot recover from that situation. Gamblers are also human beings, they certainly have their emotions and feelings. If a gambler does not share his gambling-related issues with others, then at some point he will find himself in a difficult situation. Of course, to remove his mental problems, he should share his gambling with someone. There may be many who cannot share their gambling-related issues, but someone should be found and a situation should be created to share the issues, so that when he gets into a bad mental state, it is possible to recover from that situation.

Is that really necessary? Even if you tell someone it’s not really going to solve any problem, it won’t recover your money for  you, and don’t be surprised that the person might end up telling people about it, and they might be thinking something different, the best thing is just to keep it to yourself, and maybe just stay away from gambling for some time.

Accept the reality that gambling is not the solution to your financial problem. Simple and straightforward and yet many players are hoping that one day, it will give them the riches to get out of their financial burden.

It all comes down to our personality. What you posted is all good, but personality plays a major part. If we have a strong personality, we can easily cope with the pain of losing a lot in a short period of time, but if we have a weak character, it lingers on and is sometimes embedded in our mind, and we become traumatic with it.

Its our reaction that will define how we can cope with our losses, so if we have a weak character, don't go over your limit
