Yes, I have experienced anxiety on a few occasions when I have bet excessively, It seems that the more you play, the more you begin to chase losses, which just makes matters worse. I came to see how important it is to establish boundaries and know when to go. I was able to clear my head and prevent gambling from taking over by taking breaks and concentrating on other things.
That is the cycle of it, when we gamble more, we tend to chase them if we're losing more too.
Clear your head at most times and you'll also clear the stress that it can bring. And so, you don't stress yourself by chasing losses and make a contract for yourself to limit your gambling too.
It's gonna help you out when you don't feel following your own rules and contract.
