We all know how it feels to lose money in gambling. It is one of the worst feelings we encounter, which makes us stressed and can lead to feelings of self-guilt. But sometimes we overstretch ourselves and gamble beyond our means. I have seen people even take loans to gamble and get sucked into an endless loop of stress, anxiety, and isolation.
If you have just encountered a big loss which is making you sick to the stomach, do not worry. Here are five things you can do to find peace and divert your energy to some inspiring things:

1. Accept the loss: Do not try to suppress the feelings; do not lie to yourself. You have made a mistake by gambling beyond your means, now accept it. We all make mistakes in our life. Most importantly, express the feelings: Weep if you want to weep, shout in a closed room if you want to shout, just do not harm yourself or others in the process, as it will only make things worse. Expressing your emotions is the first step towards getting out of this situation, and believe me, things are only going to get better from here. If you have expressed yourself, you have already made great progress.
Suppressing emotions will cause serious trouble to your psyche, which can lead to depression and delusions. If you do not accept your loss and mistake, you will only strengthen your unconscious to again take higher risks. In case you are wondering why your mind is still thinking of arranging more money somehow (taking loans/selling stuff, stealing, etc.), it is because of an innate human tendency of loss aversion.

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. There is no shame in taking help in these matters; instead, it is a sign of great courage to honestly tell someone how you are feeling.

3. Socialize more, go out, play outdoor games, go on a hike with friends for a few days: You need an immediate shift of your focus from gambling, and going out, playing games, etc., are good options to do that. It will also shorten your screen time, which must be zero for at least 2-3 days.

4. Take professional help: There are many government as well as non-government organizations who can help you a lot if you are still panicking and nothing is working for you. Especially if, even after a few days, your sleeping and eating patterns are not normalizing. They will help you cope with anxiety and pursue some positive change in your life.

5. This last advice is a bit philosophical. Your existence in itself is a miracle, and on top of it, you as a living, conscious human being have survived against odds much higher than any lottery. Therefore, you are a winner already in life, no matter what these are—petty things (money lost in some game)—and you surely have the capacity to overcome this. Even if you do not believe in yourself right now, your existence is the undeniable proof of your potential.

Well it is true that anytime one lost money in gambling there's always a bad feeling because we lost our hard earned money but how we feel when we lost money in gamble depends on the amount of money we lost, anyone who loss a huge amount of money will definitely feel it and can even be frustrated and depressed but if one loss a little amount of money in gamble of course you won't feel it that much because of how small it is because you understand the rules which is gamble with what you can afford to lose. I wonder why people will go and gamble with what will make them depress and frustrated.

Making use of your hard earned money in gambling is really just that suicide because losing is much more than winning when you do play gambling and this is something that most gamblers do really misses out. Just like on what everyone is saying on here that we should really be stopping on the moment that we do lose but its not something that so easy when you are really the ones on such situation on where the primary thing that comes up into your mind on that time will really be trying out to recover on what you have lost or you will be able to hit up some wins on your next roll. If you do hit up some loss then you will assume that it might be on the next until you have bust up all of your gambling capital. If on that situation or condition on where your emotion is really that being on the uncontrollable side then you will be ending up on having more deposit.

When you do lose then;
* Stop and call it a day
* Never chase loses
* Dont think up for next possible win
* Dont try to deposit even further
* Simply move on

If you are a person whose really that having some emotional problems then it will really be just that too hard to apply these stuffs.
