How To Feel Good?

How come when I get upset or feel a little depressed or sad about something gambling always makes me feel good?

  • When I am upset about something or I feel depressed going out gambling always makes me feel a lot better. I don't even have to win to make my self feel better even when i lose it makes me feel better because i get upset over the losing takes my mind off all the stuff. I don't have a gambling problem but is it ok to use gambling as a source of making me feel better when im upset? When i gambling my games of choice are either betting on the horses or playing texas holdem. Most the time i just bet on the horses because poker i have to pay to much attention.

  • Answer:

    There's nothing wrong with that if it makes you feel better. Just make sure you only take a certain amount of money you don't mind losing and also make sure you CAN walk away if you run out of the money you had allocated for your gambling purposes.

It is probably to do with the adrenaline and other natural chemicals that are released when you gamble. These will affect your brain and, therefore, your emotions. Advice: Try not to get carried away with this, or you may become addicted to gambling.

This is not a healthy thing. Bad things will come from this, I promise. What's going to happen when losing too much money starts to make you feel sad or depressed? That's coming soon enough. Life is not supposed to be easy. We are not supposed to be happy all the time. IT'S OK to get depressed and sad! That's all part of life. Too many people in today's society think there is something wrong with them if they get a little down. Just accept that you'll be sad sometimes, and find other ways to cope.

You are going down a dangerous path. Don't fill your bad mood with gambling. Many people have done that before and lost everything. Go find a new hobby or job.

i think you'r trying to void your problems with gambling. gambling is more addicting than smoking and drinking. everyones life is not very well then wat u're dreams of. i used to gambling for fun- when i get pay,drinking for cheer/forget things, and smoking for thinking about my future. right now, you are trying to not to think about anything- b/c you are worry. i know texas holdem is much more steps than horsing. IM SUGGESTING YOU... try out for community service. like helping old peoples, go to orphanage. i know this is crazy... but when you see peoples who's life is worse than you. you are doing good deed, and voiding your future problems, and you'll think that your life is GOOD. you don't have to take my advice(u can play games, watching sprorts, maybe you can draw). if you are really going to do gamble, than just enjoy gamble. it's up to you, it's your life not others.
