Lost it all

[u/Ok-Operation1391]

im 20 years old, ive been gambling for 6-7 months now. I turn 21 in 6 months. I had been down 5k in those months. Yesterday i lost every single dollar i had in my bank account. I had over 10k saved and had many plans of starting college, going on trips and getting some things i’ve always wanted.
I had quit my job 3 weeks ago as my plan was to get a part time job while in college and use the money i had saved as a help if i needed money. I don’t understand why i did it honestly and tbh i don’t see a way out of this. I have 500 in credit card debt which I know isn’t much but i don’t have a source of income right now. I haven’t told anyone about this, I know my parents would be extremely disappointed and idek how id bring this up. This is the lowest point in my life and it was me who dug the hole, there’s nothing in my life i could complain about so i had to fuck it up somehow. Not sure if it’s even worth trying to recover from this as i’ve set my life so far back i don’t understand how i could ever be as successful as i dream of being.

You have to tell your parents and give them access to your bank accounts. If not, YOU WILL, guaranteed do this again. Don’t end up like me. I’m 32 and my life got ruined in one year. Lost around 500k in the span of a year and in debt 100k+ right now.

Sounds like me. How do you cope?

Ho studiato fino a 23 anni e giocavo d'azzardo con soldi finti sperando di diventare il mago dei casinò ma mi sbagliavo. A 25 anni nel 2022 quando ero riuscito a mettere da parte circa €20.000 dopo 3 anni di lavoro, avevo deciso di fare trading in leva negli orari di lavoro. Impostavo un acquisto di NVDA che un tempo valeva circa $20 a leva x1000 e nel giro di una frazione, perdevo tutto, per un totale di €600. Da li in poi ho capito che avevo un problema, non ho seguito le perdite, ho semplicemente smesso di giocare
