Gambling addiction in general: Life already gambled away?

Hi folks,
I just have to write something off my chest, because I don't know what to do at the moment and I'm a bit finished with life, although my situation is probably not nearly as hopeless as many others..
I am Mark, 27 years old and a betting addict.
I lost my job, my fiancée, my apartment, my car, everything is gone due to addiction. I currently live with my little brother (what more can I say?), I have about 8000 euros in Debt and 500 euros of that has to be paid during the week, which I can't do. My brother knows about most of it and helps me where he can, also manages my main bank account. Unfortunately, every gambler knows how to get fresh money again and again, so now the 500 euros I have to raise by the end of the week. I don't want to tell my brother about it, I have disappointed and lied to him often enough, I can't take it anymore.... It's not primarily about the money why I think my life is over (am definitely suicidal). It's much more about the fact that addiction completely rules my life outside of money. Every thought revolves around it, every minute I follow livescores, I can't take it anymore.
I gambled away 3000 euros in December alone, when everything could have been better. Money that I could have used for an apartment and a new start, money that is unfortunately gone. I just can't go on..

Sounds very bad at first glance, but briefly thought about your situation is really problem-free back into the right field. First of all, you have to look at what is coming up, i.e. the debts or the claims have to be paid - if that is not possible, a private insolvency would be possible and a psychological counselor (Caritas or other organization) can help you to deal with the situation better free of charge.

You surely feel miserable, because of the many losses you had now. But if you look at what is recoverable: job, car, apartment, ... you can definitely look up. It is not a nice situation, but also nothing that will never get better. The important thing is that you do not sit still now, but force yourself to become active. I also know that with the suicidal thoughts, but it is a contradiction in itself. You tell yourself that everything is easier and that you are doing people a favor, but it's not like that. Your brother would be sad to lose you, in general it would be a pity to give up now without trying to get better. It's not easy to get back on your feet, but believe me it can get better with a little effort, even if it's not 100% like it used to be.

Get help, people are trained and don't look down on you they want to help you and if you let them it will work. I wish you all the best, if you have questions about insolvency, advice, etc. you can always ask here or by PN.

But would not pull through a private insolvency with an amount of 5000 €... the 5000 € gets one with something work also so together, just think of the consequences of an insolvency, biste 6-7 years bound, know people who have had something like that and had much more debt.

I'm not doing great either am also in a hole. Deaths, divorce, psyche ( anxiety disorder) all not so easy. Have also these thoughts as you described but suicide brings nothing in any way. I will soon go to a clinic because of my disorder. You are 27 years old and have your whole life ahead of you. And you can manage everything. If you can't do it on your own, there is help you can get. Because of the debts I would consult a debt counselor. To take your own life because of money or anything else is not good - it is the most precious thing we have. Even if we think we can't go on, there will be a new high sometime. All the best to you

I think the best thing you can do to get rid of your Debt is at this point Private Insolvency
Just to take some of the pressure off you. As a gambling addict, this can actually be beneficial:

You can no longer make loans, financing (to sell, yes you know ). You can't go into the negative on your account, and much more
The perfect self protection. And that also goes a few years


I think, just at your low point actually useful. just with suicidal thoughts, evtl the solution
Simply to have the debts no longer in the head, and to face the cause of that which seeks, and the trigger of this

Get well soon

You can't gamble with life. Stop crying and take the scepter in your hand. This is what someone who has gambled away 200000+ tells you. Start tomorrow. Try your head ten thousand is nothing. No world downfall. Good luck

Based on this post, which is bursting with empathy and tact... Congratulations, you've picked an appropriate nickname, idiot

Within reason I am happy to answer questions. I have an economic education background and can also look at personal insolvency in practice (with a family member).

Of course, I would rather recommend a Debt advisor than me, he deals with it on a daily basis and has more experience.
