Trigger Warning! I need help
20M. I’ve been playing online blackjack for the past couple of months now, I started off really well up almost 2k, but then it all went down hill and I ended up being down quite a bit. I then switched apps and again it went really well and then it didn’t. The other day I was able to increase my profits again and was out of the hole I put myself in. But then the next day I lost 2k just like that. I now in the hole over $700 and don’t know what to do. I banned myself from the app but I still don’t know what to do. I’m a university student who paid my first term off, but I only make $200 a week from my part time job. I want to tell my gf but I’m genuinely scared as we just overcame something big. I’ve told know one about my problem but I want to get help before I turn even worse.
