This is often the case where a gambler has more money in gambling he doesn't mind losing a few big bets but when he loses a large part of money he starts to realize that he has lost some money which will be difficult to recover at that time. But unfortunately at that point the gambler can't try and get back to that earlier position. This kind of thing happens to me as well. When I increase my bankroll my losses won't have any effect but when the losses are high I try or think to myself that I will take a break if I get a big win or recover my lost money but It is difficult to get back into that position.
Taking a break is just the best thing to do in times when you suffer huge losess, coming back shouldn't be with a mind of wanting to recover or regain all that have been lost because you may literally end up loosing more since your mind is just focused on that almoe and trying to get recovery. What you should be aiming at in the moment should be your money you are staking at that time and how well it sits with your bank roll such that you will still have the privilege to still place a bet against after that just in case you loose in that bet.  Then another thing is of you get a big loss and later you attempted recovering it d you succeeded, make sure to not continue rather take a break for the day and maybe continue the following day.
One must always be stepping back. For your head as much as for your filthy wallet. You cannot pursue losses hoping for a magic recovery. That is a downward spiral, a fools's errand. You are going to change your perspective. It's about playing wise, responsibly, not about returning to even. It's about understanding the extent of loss you might suffer without it ruining your life. This is instinct for basic survival

Let us say, then, that you strike a win after having your ass kicked. That dopamine surge may be telling you to surf the wave, but hang back. Stop straight away. Take a break, damned. It resets your bankroll, but more significantly it resets your thinking. Though it sounds ridiculous, sometimes leaving when you're up is wiser than stretching your limit. It's about learning the game, not allowing it to rule you
