I think my main trigger is my low moods. I have suffered from depression since I was 11 and I doubt it will never leave me. When I am really down I immediately think of putting a bet on. Is it my way of self-medicating? My mood is then concentrated on the excitement of the bet. I ‘ve always been a dreamer which may be one of the reasons why I gamble and then I’m thinking of how I’m going to spend the money if I win. Of course, 99/100 I lose and then feel as bad if not worse. It’s a vicious circle that I want to break.
