As for me, when I have one of those days that I have a big loss, it's more on a mental trauma to me. I can't function as normal, I went into depression mode, can't get out of my bed and go to work and will just call my boss that I'm sick. And this might take to 3 days or even a whole week. And of course, the physical effect as well, I can't eat and so I lose a lot of weight.
For this to have happened then the loss must have been really big. And maybe mixed with "would have or could have" you know what I mean. Some losses are bearable and some others are just very painful and need some days before the pain goes away.
Of everything I read, it makes me happy that you have some control over your gambling.
How about you guys? Did you experience this when you gamble a lot?
I have experienced the guilt of , "I could have done it like this instead of this" but it doesn't last 24 hours. It goes away quickly. Despite this, I do not go back to gambling immediately like the next day. I give it some days before I return.
