i lost over $500 gambiling this month at 51🔄 and don't know what to do
I'm 51🔄 and over the last month I've lost more than $500 gambling. It started with small bets, but every time I lost I felt like I needed to keep going to try and win the money back. Instead, I just kept losing more.
Most of it was on a crypto online casino. At first I deposited small amounts and thought I had it under control, but it got way easier to keep depositing than I expected. Looking back, I can see how quickly it added up.
I know $500 might not sound like a lot to some people, but for me it's a huge amount of money. I feel pretty stupid for letting it get this far, and it's been on my mind constantly.
I'm worried that if I don't stop now, it's only going to get worse. Has anyone else gone through something similar at a young age? How did you stop thinking about your losses and move on? Any advice would help.
