Hi Jac,
I get really mad reading that post. I have to be honest. You ask for help and you get it. People offer you advise and support. What do you do? You don’t take any of it…. All you do is yap and complain saying it’s too much. You said you were a soldier. Well soldier up. You may have been a soldier but your not being one right now. You’re just giving up. Is that what you are? A person that accepts failure? You originally posted on here that you were up 20k, down 20k, up and down and all around. Then you said you wanted to kill yourself. Then you keep saying that other people should seek help now and get help but yet all is lost for you and it’s time to just die or something. It’s such a defeatist attitude. Everyone on here is being nice and caring and so have I but how has it helped you?? It hasn’t. In fact your notes are getting worse. I feel for you but also don’t think you are trying at all. Whats the point in offering a stone advise? If you don’t take the advise, or try to better yourself how do you think it’s going to happen? I understand a person relapsing and gambling again when trying to quit. I understand a person that can’t stop gambling. But I can’t understand a person asking for help and not taking any of it or trying even one iota….
Most gamblers loose EVERYTHING and more. You have a job, a family that seems to really care, a partner that is still with you, a body that seems to functioning, you must be somewhat fit to have been a soldier…. These are the few things that you’ve mentioned yet you seem so ungrateful. You have so much more than most people in the world yet you are defeated over what? Money…. Really…. Money has you beat? It’s a fucking piece of paper made by rich men to make you feel the way you do right now…. Beaten… defeated… in fear… to scared to make any changes… to scared to try… So scared about who you are and what drives you to explore whats really going on and try. Like a child ready to cry, stick his thumb in his mouth, and wait for mommy to make it better. Maybe it’s time to start fighting instead of giving up. Just saying…
