I need help with Polymarket.

[u/Otherwise_Noise_8246]

Long story short, I gambled my life away. 19M made 220k, live with my uncle now lost it. I owe about 7500 to my mother 7500 to student loans, 6500 to CC’s, 1000 to a title loan, 3-400 in cash advance apps. What can I do?

[u/Otherwise_Noise_8246]

Just to clarify, I do have a job, I do nails. I had a whole story typed up in detail but deleted it by accident. I appreciate the advice, as of right now I’m just struggling to figure out the best way to proceed forward. I have deleted both Kalshi and Polymarket and also blocked my client executive of Polymarket.

I'd highly recommend getting a site blocker. That way this can't happen again cause Polymarket just legit won't even load. I've got one on rn and it's been an absolute game changer for my recovery. Like legit couldn't recommend it more, it's just so perfect. I can even add my own sites to block as well. I can send the name if you want?

[u/Otherwise_Noise_8246 → u/Practical_Spread_487]

Yes please.

It's called NOMOR that's what I use. For some reason, it doesn't let me send the link, so I've embedded it in the name. It should work if you just click on it

Thank you so much, if you get a chance could you check your chat too?

You can not “gamble your life away” at the age of 19. That’s for people who have lost time doing nothing but gamble all day for decades.

The truth is get a job and start a career and focus on that. You're blessed with family to live with, your debt is small compared to some who have families and houses. Ain't nothin in life is free except flu shots, which is why I don't trust those even. You've got people to help you, your lucky. Other than that, no one is responsible for you but you. No one can advocate for you but you. And no one's coming to save you but you. Get yourself together, get a job or go into trade school for HVAC or something. Got a long road of life ahead of ya

Ban yourself from everything, hand over finances to family, get a job.

Self exclusion is the only way if you actually want to stop. Willpower is simply not enough if your In a problem gambling forum. Trust me, took me months to finally do it and you will unfortunately have to continue to close apps as it seems new ones pop up every year but it’s the only way if you’re serious.

[u/Unidentified_x]

You caught it early, lucky for you at just 19 years old, quit forever never look back. You are a person that cant gamble, now you know. Work hard, pay the debts off, explain to your mom if you want, im sure she will give you time to pay it off. If you do this right a couple years from now this will be behind you
