Are you usually an anxious person? I wonder if being anxious makes you more susceptible to being addicted to gambling or no?
If you are always worrying, would you not be able to take risks as confidently as others? Won't you just stay in your safe zone and miss out on opportunities that could have given you bigger wins? Or maybe some people tend to forget about their anxiety from gambling because their mind gets so numb playing?
Has gambling treated your anxiety or has it made it worse?
Yeah, from my experience, anxiety has an effect on gambling. Once I lost money that was a lot of money for me for that time and I deposited the same amount of money to recover my losses but I lost what I deposited too, so I felt a huge anxiety, almost like a panic attack. I accidentally felt the rush of energy that comes with adrenaline and started doing pushups to spend this energy on something. I cried a lot that night but I haven't made such a mistake ever since that day and I'm actually in profit against the casino, so I'm doing fine and I only gamble for fun now.
