Hello Falcon,
hello community,

since there were and are so many questions about my whereabouts, I would like to get in touch with you personally after almost 2 years.

As you may know, I have been suffering from a severe mental illness since my late teens, which unfortunately has never been properly diagnosed until now. I had such difficult phases in my life that I had to work in a workshop for the disabled in my mid-20s.
However, since I have a normal intelligence, I tried to become self-employed at that time, which from today's perspective was also a success. Unfortunately, due to my self-employment, I completely neglected my mental and physical health and identified too strongly with my website and the ever-growing community.

At the end of 2019, due to my illness and GambleJoe, my relationship went on the rocks and a new addiction called cannabis entered my life and I spent a lot of time in Amsterdam smoking a lot. Unfortunately, I thought I could beat my severe depression with this drug - at least that's how it felt to me and I started using more and more and dealing with the issue and lived largely withdrawn.

Then when the Corona pandemic came along, which hit me very hard psychologically, I had a complete nervous breakdown for the third time in my life in mid-2020 after trying magic mushrooms in Amsterdam to "cure my depression" and a drug-induced psychosis came along. I have now been in a psychiatric ward for the last few months and for the first time in my life have received proper therapy, diagnosis and medication and I am now well again (despite Corona). I continue the therapy and I use drugs now since the beginning of the year and for the rest of my life no more. Unfortunately, I am not and could not go the right way earlier.

In retrospect, it was negligent to myself to want to self-medicate my condition. However, due to the excessive demands, it was almost logical that it had to come to this. In the end, cannabis and magic mushrooms were not the right medicine for me and it had only changed my personality during use, made me act like a teenager in my 30s and ended in a personal disaster

For some people these drugs are really medicine and can free from addictions and depressions, only this should be decided by a trained psychiatrist if one is suitable for it and not oneself. I strongly advise against such self-experiments!
My escapades do not say, however, that I was no longer active in the background, only I have consciously decided to no longer be active in the forum, because I tend to want to help everyone and to increase me too much in the things purely and that does me no good psychologically.

In addition, I have also stopped gambling, as this was also a "hobby", which in the end had also harmed me psychologically. Since I have other tasks at GambleJoe besides the forum and we now have trained staff as moderators, I no longer consider it absolutely necessary to be active in the forum myself. To cut a long story short: For my circumstances I am fully occupied with my tasks and if I would still take care of the forum, I would have no real life outside of the screen, like the years before.

I have changed and from my experiences I would like to do something positive in the future when I have more strength again. Possibly here in the forum or found a second platform against addiction to which I will then devote myself more and more. I would like to do something that makes more sense for my situation (as someone who doesn't gamble anymore). I would finance this through my income on GambleJoe, as long as the website can sustain itself economically. In the long run, I would like to reduce my work here and do something that really helps people and where there is also more gratitude and less frustration coming back. At the moment, however, I still have to help myself.

Leaving aside content-related things, I'd like to have an overview page in my profile where I can view my written forum posts without having to tediously scurry through the forum or use the search.

I would have thought Daniel has retreated and lives with his wife and children a secluded, contented life since he was no longer here. Instead, I now read here the complete opposite, as far as his life is concerned.

Wow Daniel. Awesome story. I noticed that you had to fight with yourself from time to time, but that it is so bad I could not guess of course. Wish you all the best and hope that you now find a good way to deal with it in the long term.

And of course I hope to see you more often in the forum again or in another project, as soon as you feel able to do so and it doesn't harm you anymore.

About the Curacaos. Yes, as I said, I can totally understand that and I already thought months ago that this will probably become inevitable. My criticism was just that in the past there should have been better differentiation. But well, is now also not further bad. For many Gamblejoe users but the reputation of Curacao casinos is completely destroyed and that will probably need some work to break with it.

I'm quite honest, I do not feel comfortable with the idea of playing there and that's just really mainly because my main source for a long time Gamblejoe is and Curacaos here were always labeled as unseriös. What many are also, but probably many are not.

Grift there just really hard through. So only with direct contact and as soon as there are problems, take the casino again quickly from the list. A few will be so smart and do everything correctly.

Wish you all the best again and thanks for your message

There should also be a "report function" in the Communicator. I was just spammed by a relatively active user with a ref link to order some dubious credit card with bonus.

Is a prepaid card was also offered to me

Would not know what GJ should do there I have a very simple procedure for such things I listen to it if I need it ok if not then not and in case of need someone should be really pushy now you can also just block the user

But of course everyone has his own perception of what is annoying and what is not I have now not perceived as annoying but understand it even if you see it differently


@Daniel

Thank you for your honest words I personally find very strong at all publicly to draw attention to such problems

I think everyone comes in his life times to such a point and it does not matter how much money is in the bank or how many people are around you it can hit anyone and will also hit everyone once in a certain form

Clearly with the one it is then stronger and worse but I think pretty much everyone can understand how it can all take its course

Too many things can ruin your health and our industry is just very good at doing this more through the back door you notice it at the end when you are already too entrenched it is not even necessarily an addiction that robs you of your powers but the whole matter in and of itself
