The fact you still play back each time you lose tells you're gambling for the money not for fun, I will argue all newly gamblers to control their emotions when it comes to lose, cause it's best to advice newly members to know the system before gambling, the problem you're facing is you gamble too much with your income and the fear of you not losing all games is really affecting you and you need to stop gambling for now if you can do that it'll be better.
No one can really tell you what to do with your gambling life except you decide to change and take a bold step to kill the habit of always playing back after a loss.

I am sorry to hear what you are going through and i understand the difficult spot you are in now. I have not personally experienced this, but i know people around me who have gone through phases like this, and it was very difficult to overcome. You simply need the help of your friends and family to help you get past this, spend time with them, see value in other things and it could be a solution. If all of these does not work, then you have to seek professional help from a psychologist who will help you in the best way they can.

You could consider yourself lucky, even if you don't feel that way, that you have a habitual addiction rather than a chemical addition like drugs or alcohol - which take an actual physical toll throughout the withdrawal process. If you well and truly want to quit, you have to hit rock bottom. You have to lose all faith in what you've been doing up to this point in time and ultimately will have to write off all the money that you've sunk into this activity this far. You were wrong and gambling is just a money pit, that will never turn around to spit back out a profit for you or even allow you to get anywhere near to the break even point. Let the past go and accept that you've lost all that money spent to this point, only then can you start rebuilding. At that point you need to quit entirely and be on the look out for trigger points that pop up in your day to drag you back in.

The more ambitious you are to take revenge to return the funds you have lost at the gambling table, the deeper you will be depressed by this condition.
It's better to manage your money for gambling so that you get a nominal amount that is ready to bet when you win or lose.
What you are experiencing is of course also experienced by many gambling players who have lost a lot of money, of course they have to learn from this incident so they can still enjoy gambling without feeling stressed.

No one is telling you to enter the world of gambling, nor is there anyone forcing you to gamble. You yourself have decided to enter the world of gambling and bet heavily there, causing a loss. You yourself have started it, so you yourself must end it. Betting without end, a person keeps returning to gambling, even though he often loses and suffers losses that he doesn't want. However, it is not gambling that is to blame, it is your behavior that is wrong every time you gamble. Are you sorry enough for your own bad behavior? If not, then be prepared to face even bigger losses, which you never imagined before. If yes, then immediately improve your behavior in gambling, control your emotions and emotions better, and never have too high expectations regarding gambling.

Your bad behavior in gambling has caused a loss, if you can't stop gambling, then leave the bad behavior. And if you are unable to win in gambling, then minimize the level of losses you experience.

Are you serious about this or you are saying a literal meaning to what you are going through. If someone is consuming a food that is harmful to his body system and the doctor prescribed to him to stop eating that food but he choose to continue, then I believed he choose to die and you situation is the same right now. You know very well about your situation very well which you were able to detect your self but I'm surprised that you are still asking. If you value your life, Pease quit gambling and focus on other aspects of life, gambling is not the only thing to do because it's clear that you are gambling for financial reasons and not for fun.


I'm still surprised to what kind of addicted gambler you are but I understand your situation as well but where are you getting the money you are using for gambling? You seem like a person that knows what he is doing and I think you know the source of your depression. If you are losing money as you are gambling, please stop immediately, nobody is disturbing you spiritually to gambling, it's your consciousness that is that active and makes you enjoy gambling and when it doesn't work, the guilt set in. If you are winning, you wouldn't say that isn't.

And that's the issue people thing casino are manipulating them and they have forgotten they made the choice them self and they blame casinos for their mistakes they were not forced and when some are talking they tell you about risk so if you take the risk and it backs then the person should blame their self. and even addiction they caused it so the hands of casinos are clean. and if anyone is using any strategy and it is not working out for them then it is better you change it. and majority of them need to start setting limits for them self but since they are chasing money so they should not blame anyone. and another thing i observed is that people will always want to copy gambling codes and that is were a lot of people are failing.

And i think their should be means from casinos of getting information about user experience and also improve on their platform and also give measure for people that are putting blames on people about their failure in control their self for money. and i will continue to say this is not every game you see you place bet on or want to bet. their should be control and limitation on gambling the thing is that if you could interview people that lost control over gambling if you should ask them what them have gone through in that process you will be amazed at what them will tell you so it is better to be contended with what ever it maybe. to me all does things is as a result to greed.

A simple stupid thing like gambling is not worth ending your life. Don't do it, your life is so much bigger than this.

You'll be like a driver who crashed his car and decided to kill himself because he worked a few years to get it. Your life is so much longer and you can achieve much more. Everything that's lost can be regained, remember that. You can recall memories, fix bonds with friends. The only thing you cannot bring back is people.

Get someone to disconnect you from it. Make them drive you to the mountains, where there's no Internet, and no way for you to get back to the city on your own. Make them leave you enough food and supplies to survive and stay there for a few weeks. You'll calm down and feel so much better after.

The casino is not manipulating anyone to gamble out of their wish. It's a personal decision to gamble and make fun through the activity. Gamblers operate in unique ways, so as you should. Maybe the strategies which you implement is not good enough to secure or limit the urge of gambling from coming up often times. When gambling it's crucial to have some arrangement within yourself and follow a guide that works. Instead of playing out of fear or making mistakes in the hopes of winning big. No need of feeling depressed. It only gets the trouble worse as the healing progress can be delayed. You should be focusing on maintaining yourself not to get in deeper trouble than you're facing right now. Gambling is not an avenue for making huge amount of money. You may have been disappointed as a result of loss of money and not earning the money you wished to get via gambling.

That urge relies on the player. Though it appears so strong, but that doesn't mean we all need to be victim of trying again. When the game is no longer fun to you, then stop for the moment and relax against the next session. Viewing the game as a must win affair will only get you as a player more worried why you're not winning in the process. Assuming the player participates in gambling for fun, he won't get worried over the losses or wins. What matters most is playing the game within the duration he's made out for gambling. That's why the timing is quite very important for gamblers. Self-control is a required skill that one need to possess as gamblers. Don't chase loss, Op, it'll only worsen the situation. The urge can be controlled. All you need is to be a responsible gambler.

You must understand that gambling is risky, if you let it go without trying to forget about it then this will continue to be borne by you which is getting worse.
Try to do activities that can forget about gambling, whether there is a hobby that you enjoy then this will be better than gambling addiction or other activities that make you useful.

Of course other people will say rehabilitation if you are able to do that, let alone the desire of the intention where you do not want to be borne in his lifetime even though this is quite heavy but you have to do it.

Eliminating addiction directly is difficult, it must be done slowly, what you can do, slowly is no problem as long as you have the intention where you want to stop.

Rehab seems to the the viable option for someone with such a compulsion to gamble which can attained from therapy sessions and which comes with a hefty price too, I advise you to talk to a counsellor who has expertise in these kinds of cases and let them take care your condition. Until that self exclude yourself from all the casinos you were playing which is cold turkey but the most effective in my opinion than going gradual decrease.

If you are really that serious on quitting then you should do work hard for it or would really be that meaning it because if you do have those kind of quitting mindset but you dont really make actions through it
then you would really be that still ending up on doing on the same thing on which this is something that must be avoided in the first place. This is why it would really be that best that you should really act
accordingly and would really be thinking up well on what are the things that you must do for you to be able to quit up,or else you would really be ending up on a disaster on which your financial
condition would be mainly be affected. There are really people who could be able to get out and there are ones who cant.

This is why it would be always best that if you do saw yourself into that verge of extreme addiction, then act fast and wise that trying out to avoid into those things
on which it is really that must to be avoided.

Hey, feel bad mate. Have you tried these
- Join your family
- Tell your story
- Trying to accept the reality and don't think about your past gambling
- All of your financial, should be take care by someone on your family
- Limit your spending everyday.

These should be needed around 3-6 month without gambling. It's hard, but should try these otherwise you will keep betting chasing the amount you are losing or you won on the past (with condition, never getting chase).

stop betting if you have lost control and immediately avoid gambling if you feel such anxiety.
I'm sure you just feel anxious and uncomfortable with your gambling activities and as a healthy gambler will never worry about anything even if he loses money because he already understands the risks but if you feel everything is bad it's better for you to immediately leave gambling for a few days or even longer to avoid these distractions.

according to my assessment, OP has anxiety related to his gambling activities and try to find someone you trust, tell him all the complaints you are experiencing and ask for help with a solution to your problem.
I'm afraid anxiety is bad in the long run.

Please, bro, you are taking this too far, "unaliving"? No, that shouldn't be, you are talking as if you are too rooted in gambling, but all for losses, it is you who will have to change the narrative. It might have started by you starting gambling on the wrong footing by not understanding what gambling is, the good and ills attached to it but started all the same. Gambling is never for the faint in heart and this is why I like to advise people that they should get themselves familiar with it and know some evils that can come from it, and also know the ways to guard against the evil before engaging in it. But many think it is not necessary as gambling is just a way to make money but this is wrong as many might want to make money in it but almost all will never be able to make the money and even lose more than their money in some cases just like yourself.

You are losing it already, but as it is now, it is never too late, and I advise you to take a break from gambling immediately without thinking twice. You do not need it right now, trust me, all you need is a fresh breath and a new start, you need to absolutely clear your head. If you force it and continue like this to the extent of thinking about harming yourself, I pray that such will not happen. You can talk to some people offline about how you feel now, it could be family and/or friends or anyone in the field related to mental state, and they might be able to help you as well. As for the gambling house allegation, they are not using any spirits, it is a matter of mental state and addiction, if you are not careful, it will control you especially if you do not have the strong Willpower to fight back or stop it outrightly.

Obviously this is the wrong thought when there is a gambler hoping as a source of income, this will cause a lot of problems especially in terms of their finances that there are only new problems that keep coming if someone hopes on gambling.

The gambling games you mentioned are clearly in favor of luck, there is no strategy that can be claimed correctly, except for sports betting, there is still a chance of winning if you analyze the team, so if the general game is enough to make fun when there is cold money.

I don't know, it turns out that there are still many people hoping beyond reason and a little crazy on the source of income in this gambling will not change anything that continues to lose. - Smart gambler: Losing is not a problem, winning is a bonus for them.

There is no quick way to control your desire to gamble. All methods are done slowly and gradually when you are in a situation of addiction. The casino only does marketing by offering various promotions to attract people to play. The player when playing for the first time must remember that the casino will never lose.
This thought must be remembered by the player from the start onwards so that the player can be said to be playing consciously because in gambling there are only two choices, winning and losing. Make a lot of money and lose a lot of money.

Its obvious from his statements that bro its losing like a fool, and he's surely seeking help to reduce the way he engages in it.
I have an advise for OP, in fact this is what helped me back then in 2017 when my addiction was getting seriously out of hand. I decide for how long I don't want to engage in gambling, maybe 2 days maximum for a start. I will play a game that will span throughout those days and refuse to play another one until the games are exhausted. Now, during the days of the gameplay, I distanced myself from betting sites and my friends that will tell me the outcomes of games I played in the coupon. To substitute for the gambling time, I started reading motivational books which helped me remove my mind from visiting the bookies. To stop one habit, you need to replace it with a new one.

This now boils down to the fact that you need to change your friends that are addicted just like you, you cannot be trying to change and still fully associate yourself with your do alikes. This might bring issues between you and your friends, but bro, you're saving yourself and you offer nobody apologies for desiring a better life. For you to seek help indicates your willingness to change. Change is a slow and steady process, follow the process with dedication and you'll come back here with your testimony.

Absolutely mate we are all know that everyone of us here don't let us happen. Cause when depression will attack on us then we can not control ourselves so we need to be more careful nowadys like in gambling once we are in the addicted mode then there's a possibility that we can not control ourselves and let us to become losser cause the more we put in our mind that gambling can makes us rich so still many gamblers will stay.

Gambling is very dangerous when it is uncontrollable but the only option to overcome this urge is to make personal decisions and keep to it this is the only way stay from addiction. I think if you can make decisions from  playing gambling it will really help well. Addiction is something that does not go off from people immediately, that is why even if you try to reduce the way you play gambling you will still see yourself playing gambling uncontrollable.  You just need to forget about playing gambling and with time you will get rid of addiction but in the case you still go back to  continue with gambling you will keep on struggling with addiction that can of problem to you financially and mentally.  

If you take gambling as a way of making money you just have to stop and look for something else that can generate income for you, this will help you out from depression.
