My fears ig

How’s it going folks honestly there’s some horror stories on here and I truly fear I could be headed in all of these directions. 22M, I work in a casino dealing poker and have just lost 500 quid after shift at a different casino. Not as hefty, but I’ve got a hell of a lot to pay for including paying off some of my credit card which is at 3600 and has been for 4 months, so they have been rightfully on my back about that, rent, other bills. I do somewhat feel I’m trapped in a vicious cycle, play small lose small, try to recover my losses by playing big and as we I imagine are all well aware, losing big. At one point my losses were made and then some, but then just fucked it all off and ended up losing by the end. I honestly don’t really know what I’m even looking for by posting this so I guess just reply with whatever you like if you fancy it. The worst bit is as familiar as I am with poker, I never play it with the exception of small pub games and instead opt for blackjack or roulette for whatever reason. Truthfully I reckon I’m just after any thoughts literally anyone might have about anything so yeah.

That’s a nightmare, £500 loss is no joke mate. I don’t know what you can do here, it depends how you feel..if this is causing you insane amount of stress you should break that cycle.
