So basically it all started 6 months back
I was playing blackjack on some online website, and won like 5bitcoins in start. That was like 20k Pounds that time.
Later in the next couple days i lost 10bitcoins from my pocket which was an investment my dad made for some business of ours. Then i stopped gambling for a bit, and made a little portion of it back working hard. A couple months later bitcoin price rose by 35% and i thought, why not gamble because no way i can make that kinda money. Months after months it kept repeating and here i am with gambling away the last bitcoin i had. My dad still thinks i have 160 worth of bitcoins in my possesion. I dont know what to do. I cant tell my parents about it, they ll go into depression because that was the only way out to all their financial problems as well.

I am really depressed right now, i used to physically fit, i have become fat, lazy and what not.

I cant stand my own face in the mirror. And this is not a amount is can anyhow make back,

Bitcoin is at 8.5k Pounds now and i had 20btc, so I really m down to 170k.

I took losses in two ways. I lost money when BTC was less and missed the opportunity of doing well on them because of that one addiction or idk

Please tell me what shall i do, i cant tell my parents. They are already going tru a lot
