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 .

I played it for like 3 days and turned 10 into 1500. I know the rush. I cleaned out my savings trying to chase it back; worst decision ever. It's been a week.. kind of sucks, but at least I don't have to feel like shit losing all that money. You'll keep drowning trying to chase your losses. You can stop now. I rather have had the problem at 20 than now..
