The depression in early recovery is common and it will pass, along with any mood swings. You are young, you can fully recover yourself and your life. Rehab will help you. I have completed the gma women’s programme and it did help a lot. Exploring the reasons as to why we gambled and being able to surrender ourselves to our higher power also helps. In recovery I was destitute and depressed for a long period of time. Gradually over time things changed and they will for you too, either quickly or over time. Not gambling will enable recovery to happen which ends the hopelessness and brings new life and new hope. This will happen for you too.
