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

Well, you better clean your own front door...
Your contributions are not necessarily bursting with empathy and fingertip feeling either

Hello, want to write a few lines here too, am now 51 years old and gambling 2/3 of my life, had 230K Debt at peak. I am out of everything with settlements, was a process that took 15 years, but I have kept my credit. Think carefully about what you are doing ---- best to just stop gambling! Then 5000 are a thing that are done in half a year. But if you want to continue gambling, then separate yourself from your family, your girlfriend and all the other people who are worth something to you, because you will bring them all to misfortune. When you are approaching 50 and have everything under control with your Gambling addiction, your finances will be good and you have been working six days a week for the last decades for about 12 hours a day (and you have to do that, because you destroy thousands in the few hours of free time a month) you will ask yourself where your life ---what is it?--- has gone. So think about whether you want to become a happy family man or an old lonely wolf

That is all I can tell you.

Good luck and a beautiful new year I wish you
Bernd

Thank you for all the answers, especially Bernd's contribution made me think a bit. The current debts are not the problem, I get them paid, the sum is not too high. The 500 euros that had to be paid this week are now paid. I revealed to my brother again what happened and he advanced me the money....
What concerns me more than the money is that gambling takes over my whole day, day after day after day.
By the way, I have a new job in prospect or I already got the promise. The job is well paid and in my dream city Hamburg (come from the Ruhr area). Unfortunately, it has been impossible to find an apartment or a shared room there, thanks to Schufa...
This would be a chance for me to make a fresh start in the new year
I wish at this point also all a happy new year

Hello Mark,

wanted to tell you that there is a separate Schufa information for rental matters. If you have never had rent debts, then it says there ---- no negative features present--- you can get the information about tenant associations or home and landowner associations

Well, you better sweep at your front door...
Your posts are not exactly brimming with empathy and finger pointing either

I'm sure you're right, I'm sure you are. And for good and all. But


You'll never see me snotting any hollow phrases or slogans à la (quotes Idiot85) "Stop crying and take the scepter in your hand [...] try to get a grip on your head [...] no end of the world" to someone who, according to his own statement (quote), is "definitely suicidal". It's just not my style to talk like that to someone I don't know and who is obviously anything but well. Suicidal thoughts, depressions and similar keywords - much too delicate topics, to just - without thinking and between the door and the corner (yes, that's how Idiot's contribution read for me) - open your mouth really wide and say some shit.

And finally, independent of the topic and in general
Dear Cryptique, attention-seeking is unsexy. That is a fact. And yes yes, you will now say that this is not true and you never gnagna-blabla... aaaabut the emphasis here is on "yes yes".

Moin people,
I just write now and then a little bit how I'm doing, how it looks, maybe one or the other will find themselves in it.
I started the year quite okay and was, as there are sometimes so days, infinitely euphoric that now everything will be better. Today it's completely different, I'm depressed, don't know where to start, brooding about the things I used to have and would love to gamble again, not because of the possible win, just to distract myself.... But I try to remain steadfast and not to do it...

Hi Mark,

will you first try to stand firm on your own or will you seek external help (e.g. Caritas, support group, clinic, etc.)? Do you have a battle plan?

Happy new year + many greetings
S.
