Hello, since this is my first post here and I was only a silent reader, I want to introduce myself. I am Mario 27 years young and no longer have control over the addiction. It all started harmlessly 8 years ago times a 20 euro bill thrown into the machine on 40 tray Book of ra played and outside the free spins 5 explorers get . I thought cool 400 euros, yes that was the road to hell. I don't have a lot of debts Ca 8k because I have never gambled much over my limit would be paid off in 3 months. The debts are also not the real problem but I just feel nothing more in me, I think happiness hormones have died in the years. I also see this in the relationship I really love my girlfriend, but I somehow feel nothing when I'm with her neither sadness nor joy and this has been going on for a long time, I really do not know what happened to me. I haven't told anyone about this because first of all I'm embarrassed and secondly I don't know how anyone is going to help me out of this. I am a trained investment fund trader and therefore have to do with shares, privately I also trade and there I do not have this loss of control it is really only with the online slots, casino was never something for me. Does anyone know the feeling or did anyone know this and could help me or any tips . I already have a counseling center.
Thanks

Hello Mario,
if I were you, I would block access to the online slots by blocking online banking and possibly credit cards. Then you just make your transfers at the terminal for some time
I can understand your lack of emotion. This is surely just a self-protection mechanism of your body to keep up this "lie". I am not a psychologist, but I think that it will be different for you if you make it clear to all the people around you what kind of problem you have and how it came about, just like you did here with us. If they stand by you, they won't tear your head off. Also, talk openly with your bank. Anyone can fall into such a situation, where he loses the overview, it is only important that you admit it to yourself and above all stand by your "mistake"
In any case, I wish you a lot of strength for the future

So feeling cold I am not because I am addicted to gambling, but each person can be different, best to talk to a doctor and discuss with him the whole thing times.
And tips from professionals or people who know are better than from anonymous lead outside gambler forum
All the best
Maybe in your case a self-help group would be something, there you have other people who have the same problem and can exchange with them. I know that with the emotionlessness, at some point you dull down enormously, but I think that comes back to you when you have your head so far free that you no longer only think about gambling. In any case, professional help is called for and you must accept it.
I wish you all the best and that you will overcome this crisis.

I don't want to make a remote diagnosis but it sounds like depression, first consult your family doctor. Had a while similar symptoms (fatigue but sleepless, listless, I did not get out of bed Rollanden was down for weeks, etc.) With me it had also had physical reasons. A slight change in life has made it a lot better!
I wish you all the best, and that better days come again!
Thank you very much for the answers @mmessner29 yes the assumption I had also, it somehow pulls me nothing more to get out of bed except the work.may I ask what you have changed ?
Self-help group I have also before, think also first of all the online banking to block that stupid are just the Paysafecards you get everywhere. I will also discuss it with my girlfriend. It must change slowly what, although I have said so often, I hope now comes the turning point. Have a nice evening !

My doctor asked me a few questions at the beginning:
About topics such as sleep rhythm, work relationship, working conditions, diet, leisure activities and how I live, i.e. where I live. Then I told him that I have had my own apartment for 10 years and they quickly came up with the wrong diet. I did a blood test and the result was iron deficiency. Until then, I was not clear what the diet for effects can have:
Headaches, dizziness, irritability, lack of concentration and fatigue can be symptoms of iron deficiency . ... Indicative symptoms of persistent iron deficiency include pallor, tearing at the corners of the mouth, brittle nails or ridges in the nails, and diffuse hair loss.

If you want to stop completely
- Block everywhere and always <aufgrund Spielsucht>indicate that the account can not be easily reopened
- With banks there is also the possibility to block foreign transfers, if necessary also Trustly and Klarna in addition inquire
- Important: Turn off advertising and where it is not possible to create a mailbox rule to delete such messages automatically
- Take a deep breath, check the whole situation thoroughly (how much have I lost, debts, best way to pay it off quickly)
- Find alternatives in other leisure activities, not easy but this increases the chance to stop gambling significantly
Counseling and therapy are a good idea, but you have to keep in mind that therapy places are usually fully booked, so you should not wait until you get one. Believe me in such a situation are many and you think it does not go deeper and worse, but it does! Therefore it is good that you have recognized it, one does not have to stop lifelong, however a minimum break of 6-12 months is advisable. Better lifelong, because that you came into this situation, you have just like almost everyone a certain susceptibility to it. I myself am very susceptible to lose a lot, but sometimes reason overcomes you and saves what you can save.</aufgrund>
Hi, yes I will go to therapy, also have a lot of shit built that I have not told you up there. I'm really embarrassed to tell you all this, but I think I'll feel better if I write it all down. To get money, I have even sold the gold ducats of my parents, I mean how sick is that because only to quench the gambling addiction.At first you do not think it is wrong, in the head was then always so I win and then I buy the new.Well wrong, I've even sold under the value.I'm just about to buy the new, I would say that I have lost through my Gambling addiction 60-70k possibly more.
