Chasing losses is a common behavior where individuals try to win back money they have lost by increasing their bets. This behavior is driven by the belief that a subsequent win will offset previous losses.
There are several emotional reasons that drives it.
I think the most important is Escapism.

This means that the pursuit of recovering losses, can serve as a form of escapism from the negative emotions associated with financial setbacks. It is a feeling that you escape or distract yourself from real-time problems.

Next time you will be sick, you will feel again the need to gamble, so don't do it!

Or do it but take it easy and set your limits beforehand...
