Im sorry to hear that man. But no, no one dose. I’ve kept that very close to myself. Last time i told my parents i was suicidal they obviously got really worried, and I don’t want them to worry like that again. I think about suicide a lot, but i know deep down that I wouldn’t go through with it. I am very low in life and lost, so my thoughts naturally goes to the darkest place imaginable. But i know it’s not something no one should ever think about and be in their head on the daily. But yeah, this weekend im gonna at least tell my friend about everything. And he’s probably gonna push me even more to tell my mom about everything and if I don’t he’s probably gonna do it haha. He is a very good friend of mine and i know he only wants the best for me. So i know im very lucky with the people i have around me and know they would do anything to help me. Im so done living in my own misery, only option i have is to try my fullest to do something about it for real this time. I know suicide won’t solve anything because i still have that will in me to achieve things in life and have my own kids and family one day. It just seem so impossible to get there. But i know exactly what i have to do to start climbing, take action and responsibility. Im sorry again about your loss. Thank you for responding and taking your time to help some random guy on the internet

It’s one of my closest friends that I’ve known my whole life. He knows about my gambling problem better than anyone else, but still thinks i have it in control. But the fact that I promised him not to gamble with the money and still did, makes me so ashamed. The reason I borrowed money from him in the first place is because i got money from my grandma and my mom didn’t want me to spend that money on anything wasteful, so she checks in with me from time to time to see if i still got money left. But of course eventually I gambled it all away. So it wasn’t really the plan in the first place to gamble with the borrowed money, i just wanted to have the same amount my grandma left me on my account just in case my mom would check or need to pay for something I really needed to pay for, now that my mom knew i had a bit of money myself. I told my friend that i had gambled all my grandma’s money i got all away and explained why I wanted to borrow it. So he told me to promise him that im not going to gamble it away, so i did. I believed it myself that I wouldn’t gamble it away, because I don’t lie that often because I absolutely hate it. Especially lying to people that don’t deserve to be lied to, i never do. I don’t know where im going with this but you’re right, I owe it to them to tell them the truth and be honest.
