hey m11ax

i don't want to downplay your problems here and your
depression + Gambling addiction + indebtedness + fears for the future certainly create an
enormous pressure of suffering...understandable way.
but realize that these are still "first world" problems !
what i mean by that and how that should build you up/help you i will explain now.

you are 24 years young, healthy, with intact famiele, school graduation, completed
vocational training, german citizen (i assume), health Insurance,
material things and food in abundance...ok a few debts and a search problem
addiction problem...the point is you have no reason to sit on your bed crying
and thinking about suicide !! you have every reason to get up on your bed
to get on your bed and jump on it with joy afterwards go to your girlfriend
and give her a big kiss because you are one of the few privileged ones on this earth
earth who have the fantastic luck to live in such a luxury !
because about 90% of the rest of the world population is worse or much worse
worse up to catastrophically unimaginable worse than you just at this moment
at this moment.

and please do not get me wrong that is in no way meant cynically or the
"with raised index finger number" that is my full seriously and becomes one only once really aware of it
then the problems you have and may they be so dramatic at first glance slowly fade into the background
slowly fade into the background.

of course you won't be able to make any big leaps in the next few years and will probably rather cook on a small flame
but it will go uphill again for you i promise you and remember the sentence:
"it could be a lot worse" because it counts and is almost always true for us

and again mimimi....so young and so many debts ?

Can really not hear that anymore !

Sorry !

Fall on your face and learn from it ....

they would have to lock you everything so you know what 20 € are and what they are worth !

And whenever you pay at the checkout then think of what you just paid in spins but for something useful!

Peace out

Thanks again to all your (mostly) dear comments, has really built me up! Especially the comparison to the 3rd world .
I am since then game-free, but think again more often to gamble. I hope I remain steadfast. Will also go back to the support group from Monday, wish you all the best and take care of yourself!

First of all hello M11ax,

even if I think you are in the wrong forum I want to tell you something from my life, I was in my mid-30s really well in Debt, we are talking about a quarter of a million. Most of it came from two self-employed and the payment morality of my dear customers, also the gambling has done something to it, but was only a small part of it. I managed to get out of debt in about 10 years through settlements and a lot of work, today I have a perfect Schufa
If I calculate with you together then I don't even come to 40K, for that you can't even buy a German car of the upper middle class nowadays. So all this is feasible in a relatively short time (a few years it takes but remains clear), important is first: Finger away from gambling, budget plan, talk to the bank to merge and reschedule, it is best to have a large rate instead of dancing on 4 weddings. No credit card and no Dispo. Block everywhere you have gambled and for life because of gambling addiction. Online banking you do not necessarily need when everything is settled, cash can be overlooked much better

And now get out of the depression hole and start, because you die only once but every day. If you do everything right, then you think back in a few years and may even be glad about the experience

Wish you all the best

I'm also on Gambling addiction forums a lot because I recognize myself in it and find it interesting.

What I find curious: no matter how awesome the story, no matter how big the Debt, there was always a happy ending.

Either they found someone who gave them money, or they ended up in private insolvency, which makes practically no difference for real gamblers, because in both cases you are broke on the 10th of the month - except that you can't make new debts with the PI.

I have NEVER read that someone really fell on his face.

It never happened that someone wrote: so, now I live on the street, in 5 minutes my Internet credit at Merkur PC is expired, see you soon.

The only time that someone really had to pay for the crap he did was Johannes Strassmann. But with Eastern Europeans it is again ne new quality of being on the ass.

In short: the previous speaker with the first world is right, in Germany nothing can happen to you, no matter how much you gamble away

Hey,


i still haven't made it!!! I am honest and have thought about getting back to you but I want to keep fighting.

After my contribution I was exactly three weeks play-free and then (is not a story) with 50€ Deposit won 16,000€. Then, of course, everything started all over again... Only now I'm even more screwed because I made 6,000 € as a special payment to my credit and with the rest of my KK Dispo etc balance (wanted). Have it then until yesterday managed to completely gamble away the 16,000 € again. Have sold my car and now have NOTHING more what is worth anything and today's status 30,000 € (because of car sale).

I have next week an appointment with the Debt counseling because I have the 30K now really nice distributed and alone my Dispo is overdrawn by about 8K (10k is the limit with me).

In 2 weeks my hypnosis begins

Yesterday after I have gambled away everything again (4K alone yesterday I was back at the same point where I was when I created the post and have tilted my head)

So I have not made it (yet), had the opportunity to start over or with about 15,000 € debt to have everything clearly but stupid as I am now everything is back to the old only that I have my debts still besch**** distributed.

Well, some people don't learn from their mistakes. In the situation in which you find yourself, this should not have happened - sorry. I can only shake my head and write rather not more to it ...
