Hi There,
Im a bit lost with what to do and not sure if i need help or if its just something else.....
I do gamble quite a lot, mainly on online bingo and casinos etc. Not a day goes by i dont think where i dont gamble. I am not in debt at all, i dont owe anyone any money but i have gambled away nearly all of my hard earned savings and this is what has made me think i may need help. The thought of all the money i have lost sends me in to a small depression each time because i regret it so much and i have just had my hours cut at work so its going to take me such a long time to get next to near any of that money back.
I am only 24 and my boyfriend has the odd bet on the horses now and again and he would get annoyed if he loses even £50 and i will be sat there losing 5 x that in a day and think its normal?
I have tried to stop many times, like right now i have all accounts closed etc, but i just feel so down about the money i have lost, like it is such a waste. I think i mainly do it because i work for an online gaming company already and im around gambling all day, but because i work on the computer, its too easy for me to click up another page. I gambling cause i try to chase my losses also, this is a big thing for me, the same as every other person though i guess.
Im not quite sure what to do, i think because i dont owe anyone any money and not in large debt, im not seeing it as an issue, but i know i have a problem when im willing to spend £100's a day.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Many Thanks, D x
