Hello everyone, i’m a 19 years old student studying in a foreign country away from home. This meant i will be living off a pocket money of $200 every week. I had been introduced into gambling online which started off great winning to about a few thousands in the first week with just pure luck. Lost all that within 5 days and kept chasing losses after losses, i am now burdened with debts and it has affected my focus on study and i even experienced depression from it. I am ashamed of my gambling problem so I hid it from my girlfriend and my parents who worked hard to support my studying. As i am not allowed to work here i have no idea how to pay off my debts other than gambling even more to win it back. Any advice for me will be really well because I know that as an 19yrs old I should not even have debts like this.
