2. Tell someone: You have to have at least one person in your life (the more the better) to whom you can share your feelings and let them know about your situation. It will help a lot because if you continue to live in isolation with that feeling, trust me, you will not be capable of taking care of yourself.
Let me emphasise more on this because the aspect of telling someone is very crucial in regarding gambling matters, because they can either break you or make you.first thing to do after having such huge loss it to entirely take a long break then after which limit your gambling habits, so having someone in your life don't really matter except it's someone that advises you to avoid such gambling activities.
Telling that someone is not just some random person you meet in the street; it should be someone whom you have already known for a long and their capacity of handling such kind of information if it's the type that will give you good advice or if it's those that will blame and make you feel bad about yourself.
No doubt some people are really not worth telling about our gambling story. Some people can't take that break on their own unless they have someone on their side to always be pushing them and reminding them of the importance of taking that break from the game, which is why I also consider the telling someone a tip from the OP useful.
Honestly we have individual different way of tolerance and how we react to things, there are those that can absorb certain shook as if nothing happens without letting anyone know about it while some others feel more better when they have some one to convide in and it makes regain strength as soon as possible, they feel relieved from their trauma the more they have it being to talk to someone else but yeah not any one worth talking to that is to say it is important we have some we talk to generally in life in times of distress.
