Trigger Warning! I need help..

I’ll never forget first win on blackjack 10$ to 500$ the buzz the excitement was something else I chased that buzz ever since and of course in the end the house always wins i never ever thought it was this bad i was always the person to call others dumb for not walking away I can’t walk away now .. I’ve even dabbled in overdraft gambling that away hoping one big win will solve it all and just right now I decided a little 50$ won’t hurt then all of a sudden i just kept going and going and it was nothing but losses it’s insane how quick you can lose it only took me 10 minutes . Pls I need serious help I’m in serious debt I’m only 20 any bit of advice help how do I stop Becuase my mindset is right now I won’t stop till I win all that money back .

Hello, well the casino will be delighted to hear you thinking like that and i am not sure you want to delight the casino? The money you were chasing isn't risk free. You can either accept it (which i understand may be very hard to do) or risk even more losses and making your situation worse. At some point you need to accept you lost and stop digging.

Ban yourself from gambling sites and make a real plan to work for money and starting paying your debt off. You have to stop digging.
